DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the annual reports on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2020 of Brixmor Property Group Inc. and Brixmor Operating Partnership LP. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to the “Parent Company” or “BPG” mean Brixmor Property Group Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, and references to the “Operating Partnership” mean Brixmor Operating Partnership LP and its consolidated subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “the Company,” “Brixmor,” “we,” “our” and “us” mean the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively.
The Parent Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns 100% of the common stock of BPG Subsidiary Inc. (“BPG Sub”), which, in turn, is the sole owner of Brixmor OP GP LLC (the “General Partner”), the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2020, the Parent Company beneficially owned, through its direct and indirect interest in BPG Sub and the General Partner, 100% of the outstanding partnership common units (the “OP Units”) in the Operating Partnership.
The Company believes combining the annual reports on Form 10-K of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report:
•
Enhances investors’ understanding of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
•
Eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation; and
•
Creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
Management operates the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership as one business. Because the Operating Partnership is managed by the Parent Company, and the Parent Company conducts substantially all of its operations through the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company’s executive officers are the Operating Partnership’s executive officers, and although, as a partnership, the Operating Partnership does not have a board of directors, we refer to the Parent Company’s board of directors as the Operating Partnership’s board of directors.
We believe it is important to understand the few differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. The Parent Company is a REIT, whose only material asset is its indirect interest in the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Parent Company does not conduct business itself other than issuing public equity from time to time. The Parent Company does not incur any material indebtedness. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of our assets. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by the Parent Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for OP Units, the Operating Partnership generates all capital required by the Company’s business. Sources of this capital include the Operating Partnership’s operations and its direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness.
Equity, capital, and non-controlling interests are the primary areas of difference between the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Parent Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership’s capital currently includes OP Units owned by the Parent Company through BPG Sub and the General Partner and has in the past and may in the future include OP Units owned by third parties. OP Units owned by third parties, if any, are accounted for in capital in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements and outside of equity in non-controlling interests in the Parent Company’s financial statements.
The Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have material assets other than its indirect investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, while equity, capital and non-controlling interests may differ as discussed above, the assets and liabilities of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are materially the same on their respective financial statements.
In order to highlight the differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, there are sections in this report that separately discuss the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, including separate financial statements (but combined footnotes), separate controls and procedures sections, separate certification of periodic report under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and separate certification pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1350 as adopted pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In the sections that combine disclosure for the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company.

Forward-Looking Statements
This report may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements related to our expectations regarding the performance of our business, our financial results, our liquidity and capital resources and other non-historical statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “projects,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. We believe these factors include but are not limited to those described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this report, as such factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are accessible on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
Currently, one of the most significant factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements is the adverse effect of the current pandemic of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, or any mutations thereof, on the financial condition, operating results and cash flows of the Company, the Company’s tenants, the real estate market, the global economy and the financial markets. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted us and our tenants significantly, and the extent that it continues to impact us and our tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the speed and effectiveness of vaccine and treatment developments and deployment, potential mutations of COVID-19, including SARS-CoV-2 and the response thereto, the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, and the potential for changes in consumer behavior to be sustained, among others.
Additional factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements include (1) changes in national, regional and local economies, due to global events such as international trade disputes, a foreign debt crisis, foreign currency volatility, as well as from domestic issues, such as government policies and regulations, tariffs, energy prices, market dynamics, rising interest rates and unemployment or limited growth in consumer income; (2) local market conditions, including an oversupply of space in, or a reduction in demand for, properties similar to those in our Portfolio; (3) competition from other available properties and e-commerce, and the attractiveness of properties in our Portfolio to our tenants; (4) ongoing disruption and/or consolidation in the retail sector, the financial stability of our tenants and the overall financial condition of large retailing companies, including their ability to pay rent and expense reimbursements; (5) in the case of percentage rents, the sales volume of our tenants; (6) increases in property operating expenses, including common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, which are relatively inflexible and generally do not decrease if revenue or occupancy decrease; (7) increases in the costs to repair, renovate and re-lease space; (8) earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, damage from rising sea levels due to climate change, other natural disasters, epidemics and/or pandemics, including COVID-19, civil unrest, terrorist acts or acts of war, any of which may result in uninsured or underinsured losses; (9) changes in laws and governmental regulations, including those governing usage, zoning, the environment and taxes; and (10) new developments in the litigation and governmental investigations discussed under the heading “Legal Matters” in
Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies to our Consolidated Financial Statements
in this report. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this report and in our other periodic filings. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report, and we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except to the extent otherwise required by law.

PART I
Item 1. Business
Brixmor Property Group Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, “BPG”) is an internally-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Brixmor Operating Partnership LP and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Operating Partnership”) is the entity through which BPG conducts substantially all of its operations and owns substantially all of its assets. BPG owns 100% of the common stock of BPG Subsidiary Inc. (“BPG Sub”), which, in turn, is the sole member of Brixmor OP GP LLC (the “General Partner”), the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our” and “us” mean BPG and the Operating Partnership, collectively. We believe we own and operate one of the largest open-air retail portfolios by gross leasable area (“GLA”) in the United States (“U.S.”), comprised primarily of community and neighborhood shopping centers. As of December 31, 2020, our portfolio was comprised of 393 shopping centers (the “Portfolio”) totaling approximately 69 million square feet of GLA. Our high-quality national Portfolio is primarily located within established trade areas in the top 50 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (“MSAs”) in the U.S., and our shopping centers are primarily anchored by non-discretionary and value-oriented retailers, as well as consumer-oriented service providers. As of December 31, 2020, our three largest tenants by annualized base rent (“ABR”) were The TJX Companies, Inc., The Kroger Co., and Dollar Tree Stores, Inc. In the opinion of our management, no material part of our and our subsidiaries’ business is dependent upon a single tenant, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on us, and no single tenant or shopping center accounted for 5% or more of our consolidated revenues during 2020.
As of December 31, 2020, BPG beneficially owned, through its direct and indirect interest in BPG Sub and the General Partner, 100% of the outstanding partnership common units (the “OP Units”) in the Operating Partnership. The number of OP Units in the Operating Partnership beneficially owned by BPG is equivalent to the number of outstanding shares of BPG’s common stock, and the entitlement of all OP Units to quarterly distributions and payments in liquidation is substantially the same as those of BPG’s common stockholders. BPG’s common stock is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “BRX.”
Management operates BPG and the Operating Partnership as one business. Because the Operating Partnership is managed by BPG, and BPG conducts substantially all of its operations through the Operating Partnership, BPG’s executive officers are the Operating Partnership’s executive officers, and although, as a partnership, the Operating Partnership does not have a board of directors, we refer to BPG’s board of directors as the Operating Partnership’s board of directors.

Impacts on Business from COVID-19
The global outbreak of COVID-19 and the public health measures that have been undertaken in response have had a significant adverse impact on our business, our tenants and the global economy. See “Impacts on Business from COVID-19” in
Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”
for further information.
Business Objectives and Strategies
Our primary objective is to maximize total returns to our stockholders through consistent, sustainable growth in cash flow. Our key strategies to achieve this objective include proactively managing our Portfolio to drive internal growth, pursuing value-enhancing reinvestment opportunities and prudently executing on acquisition and disposition activity, while also maintaining a flexible capital structure positioned for growth. In addition, as we execute on our key strategies, we do so guided by a commitment to operate in a socially responsible manner that allows us to realize our purpose of owning and managing properties that are the centers of the communities we serve.
Driving Internal Growth.
Our primary drivers of internal growth include (i) embedded contractual rent escalations, (ii) below-market rents which may be reset to market as leases expire, and (iii) occupancy growth. Strong new leasing productivity over the past several years has also enabled us to consistently improve the credit of our tenancy and, combined with our efforts in 2020 to support our tenancy during COVID-19, we have continued to prioritize the vibrancy and relevancy of our Portfolio to retailers and consumers. Approximately 70% of our shopping centers are anchored by grocery stores, which have remained open throughout 2020. Despite the negative impact of COVID-19 on our operating results in 2020, our future growth drivers remain in place due to the resilience of our Portfolio and the credit of our tenancy. During 2020, we executed 419 new leases representing approximately 2.3 million square feet and 1,381 total leases representing approximately 9.6 million square feet.
Over the past several years, we have heightened our focus on achieving higher contractual rent increases over the term of our new and renewal leases, providing for enhanced embedded contractual rent growth across our portfolio. During 2020, 93% of our executed new leases had embedded contractual rent growth provisions, reflecting an average in-place contractual rent increase over the lease term of 2.1%.
We believe that rents across our portfolio are well below market, which provides us with a key competitive advantage in attracting and retaining tenants. During 2020, we achieved new lease rent spreads of 20.2% and blended new and renewal rent spreads of 7.3% excluding options, or 7.2% including options. Looking forward, the weighted average expiring ABR PSF of lease expirations through 2024 is $13.67 compared to an average ABR PSF of $15.46 for new and renewal leases signed during 2020, excluding option exercises.
While our occupancy decreased in 2020, we believe there is opportunity for occupancy gains in our Portfolio, especially for spaces less than 10,000 square feet, as such spaces will benefit from our continued efforts to improve the quality of our anchor tenancy and the overall vibrancy and relevance of our centers. For spaces less than 10,000 square feet, leased occupancy was 83.8% at December 31, 2020, while our total leased occupancy was 90.7%.
At December 31, 2020, the spread between our total leased occupancy and our total billed occupancy was 290 basis points, which provides us strong visibility on future growth as it represents $37.6 million of ABR from leases signed but not yet commenced.
Pursuing value-enhancing reinvestment opportunities.
We believe that we have significant opportunity to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns by investing incremental capital in the repositioning and/or redevelopment of certain assets in our Portfolio. Such initiatives are tenant driven and focus on upgrading our centers with strong, best-in-class retailers and enhancing the overall merchandise mix and tenant quality of our Portfolio. Despite deferring certain elective capital expenditures during 2020 in response to COVID-19, we stabilized 25 anchor space repositioning, redevelopment, and outparcel development projects, with a weighted average incremental net operating income (“NOI”) yield of 10% and an aggregate anticipated cost of $113.2 million. As of December 31, 2020, we had 60 projects in process with an expected weighted average incremental NOI yield of 10% and an aggregate anticipated cost of $402.6 million. In addition, we have identified a pipeline of future reinvestment projects aggregating approximately $900.0 million of potential capital investment which we expect to execute over the next several years at NOI yields that are generally consistent with those which we have recently realized.
2
Prudently executing on acquisition and disposition activity.
We intend to actively pursue acquisition and disposition opportunities in order to further concentrate our Portfolio in attractive retail submarkets and optimize the quality and long-term growth rate of our asset base.
In general, our disposition strategy focuses on selling assets when we believe value has been maximized, where there is downside risk, or where we have limited ability or desire to build critical mass in a particular submarket, while our acquisition strategy focuses on buying assets with strong growth potential that are located in our existing markets and will allow us to leverage our operational platform and expertise. Acquisition activity may include acquisitions of open-air shopping centers, non-owned anchor spaces and retail buildings and/or outparcels at, or adjacent to, our shopping centers in addition to acquisitions of our common stock, pursuant to a new $400.0 million share repurchase program established in January 2020, which replaced our prior program.
During 2020, we received aggregate net proceeds of $121.4 million from property dispositions, which were utilized to fund a portion of our value-enhancing reinvestment program, acquire $3.4 million of assets, including transaction costs, and repurchase $25.0 million of our common stock. During 2021, we intend to utilize net disposition proceeds for our reinvestment program, property acquisitions, and additional stock repurchases, as warranted.
Maintaining a Flexible Capital Structure Positioned for Growth.
We believe our current capital structure provides us with the financial flexibility and capacity to fund our current capital needs as well as future growth opportunities. We have access to multiple forms of capital, including secured property level debt, unsecured corporate level debt, preferred equity, and common equity, which will allow us to efficiently execute on our strategic and operational objectives. We currently have investment grade credit ratings from all three major credit rating agencies. As of December 31, 2020, we had $1.2 billion of available liquidity under our $1.25 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) and $370.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. We have no debt maturities until 2022.
Operating in a Socially Responsible Manner.
We believe that prioritizing the well-being of all our stakeholders is critical to delivering consistent, sustainable growth. As such, our Corporate Responsibility strategy is driven by creating partnerships that improve the social, economic, and environmental well-being of all our stakeholders and is guided by our mission to ensure that our shopping centers are the “centers of the communities we serve”.
As such, through initiatives such as our LED lighting conversion program and installation of electric vehicle charging stations, we continue to make meaningful progress toward our established long-term targets to mitigate our environmental impact through reductions in electric and water usage and greenhouse gas emissions. We also partner with our tenants to achieve our sustainability goals through green lease provisions. In addition to establishing a framework for promoting sustainable operations in a triple net lease environment, these provisions facilitate the installation of solar panels, providing tenants access to lower-cost on-site renewable energy. As a result of our efforts, we have been recognized by GRESB as a Green Star recipient and by the Institute for Market Transformation and U.S. Department of Energy Better Buildings Alliance as a Green Lease Leader at the highest Gold level. In addition, we earned an “A” rating in GRESB’s Public Disclosure Score, reflecting the robustness of our material environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) disclosures.
Our ongoing commitment to sustainability is also evident in our approach to value-enhancing reinvestment activity, which transforms properties to meet the needs of the communities we serve through strategic repositioning and redevelopment activity, executed with a focus on resource efficiency. Additionally, we work to provide welcoming, safe and attractive retail centers for our tenants and their customers to gather, connect and engage, both within stores at our centers and in public spaces throughout our Portfolio. We further support our communities by hosting local events, volunteering, and providing aid in times of need. We strive to be a key partner in the success of our retailers, and we do so by providing them proactive property management, ongoing tenant coordination, and additional services such as marketing support for our local tenants. We monitor our success through biennial tenant engagement surveys. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we took critical steps to maintain our high property operational standards, while minimizing unnecessary expenses for Brixmor and its tenants as we prioritized enhanced safety and cleanliness protocols across our Portfolio.
Human Capital.
As of December 31, 2020, we had 480 employees, including 474 full-time employees. Our talented and committed employees are the foundation of our success. Together we focus on building a culture that is supportive, collaborative and inclusive, that provides opportunities for both personal and professional growth, and that empowers and encourages thinking and acting like owners in order to create value for all stakeholders. We
3
believe this approach enables us to attract and retain diverse and talented professionals and creates collaborative, skilled, and motivated teams. The pillars of our human capital strategy are:
•
Engagement and connectivity
: We believe that employees that are personally engaged in our vision to be the center of the communities we serve and are connected with similarly engaged colleagues will be happier, more effective and more likely to think and act like owners. Company-wide recognition of excellence is one way we show our team members how important they are to the Company and each other. Our quarterly employee awards include the “Our Center is You” award, which recognizes employees for immersing themselves in and serving our communities, and the “Find A Better Way” award, which recognizes ingenuity. We foster connectivity through company-wide enrichment events, like our TED-Talk style “Big Brain Days” where leading authors discuss topics to inspire individual and team growth, a Board of Directors lunch series, book clubs and Company-wide community service projects. We believe our engagement and connectivity initiatives have contributed to our 98% employee satisfaction rating and 97% participation in annual reviews and talent development surveys.
•
Growth
: We encourage our employees to grow and develop their interests and passions by providing a number of personal and professional training and learning opportunities. In addition to comprehensive training programs geared toward job functions, we provide a number of innovative development programs, such as “BRX Connect,” an internal exchange program that permits employees to learn about other functions within the Company, “Personal Development Accounts,” which provide time off and expense reimbursement for a personal or professional development activity chosen by the employee, the “Leasing Assistant Development Program,” a two-year intensive apprenticeship program for entry level leasing employees, Predictive Index Behavioral Assessments, which enhance self-awareness, collaboration and inclusion, and MasterClass subscriptions available to all employees to stimulate personal growth.
•
Health and well-being
: Our commitment to the health and well-being of our employees is a crucial component of our culture. We provide a wide-range of employee benefits including comprehensive medical, prescription, dental and vision insurance coverage (the majority of which is paid by the Company), paid maternity, paternity and adoption leave, matching 401(k) contributions, free life insurance, disability benefits and spousal death benefits, education assistance reimbursements and flex time. We also encourage healthy lifestyles, through initiatives such as our partnership with Headspace, an online application that enables guided mindfulness and meditation, gym membership discounts, and health-oriented employee competitions, like our “Summer Step Challenge” where all employees are offered a free fitness tracker.
Our commitment to these pillars of our human capital strategy has guided our response to the extraordinary challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. The health of our employees has been a priority and, prior to governmental orders to do so, we closed all of our physical offices and invested significant resources to ensure all employees were safe, functional, and efficient while working at home. We supplemented our health and well-being programs with counseling sessions and provided additional resources for parents navigating schooling challenges. For any employees directly impacted by COVID-19, we have ensured the availability of appropriate time off, coverage for their work responsibilities, and additional support as needed. We have also focused on engagement and connectivity by, among other things, significantly increasing the frequency of our all-employee calls and hosting virtual happy hours and book club meetings. We have continued to encourage growth through virtual training programs and technology-driven productivity and personal development aids. We did not engage in layoffs, furloughs or pay reductions in response to the pandemic.
We advocate for diversity and inclusion in every part of our organization and strive to create equal opportunities for all current and future employees. We believe a culture based on diversity and inclusion is critical to our ability to attract and retain talented employees and to deliver on our strategic goals and objectives. Every year each employee signs a pledge to commit to helping us create and maintain an inclusive culture free from harassment based on race, sexual orientation, gender, and other protected classes. In 2020, we formed a Diversity & Inclusion Leadership Council, which reports directly to our CEO and assists us in maintaining best practices and behaviors to promote diversity and enhance inclusion. We regularly feature diversity and inclusion themes in our trainings and community events, such as our Big Brain Days and Board of Directors lunch series. In addition, to improve our recruitment of diverse talent, we have partnered with Jopwell, a community and job board for diverse professionals.
4
Our Board of Directors oversees these initiatives to ensure that our actions continue to demonstrate our strong commitment to operating in a socially responsible manner. To facilitate their oversight, the Board of Directors is provided periodic updates by our Executive Vice President, Operations. In 2020, management established an ESG Steering Committee, comprised of individuals from multiple disciplines across the Company and led by our Senior Vice President, Operations & Sustainability. The ESG Steering Committee meets quarterly and focuses primarily on setting, implementing, monitoring, and communicating the Company’s Corporate Responsibility strategy and related initiatives. Additional detailed information regarding our Corporate Responsibility strategy can be found in our Corporate Responsibility Report at https://www.brixmor.com/why-brixmor/corporate-responsibility and in our investor relations presentations.
Compliance with Government Regulations
We are subject to federal, state and local regulations, including environmental regulations that apply generally to the ownership of real property and the operations conducted on real property. As of December 31, 2020, we are not aware of any environmental conditions or material costs of complying with environmental or other government regulations that would have a material adverse effect on our overall business, financial condition or results of operations. However, it is possible that we are not aware of, or may become subject to, potential environmental liabilities or material costs of complying with government regulations that could be material. See “Environmental conditions that exist at some of the properties in our Portfolio could result in significant unexpected costs” and “Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and fire, safety and other regulations may require us to make expenditures that would adversely affect our cash flows” in

Financial Information about Industry Segments
Our principal business is the ownership and operation of community and neighborhood shopping centers. We do not distinguish our principal business or group our operations on a geographical basis for purposes of measuring performance. Accordingly, we have a single reportable segment for disclosure purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
REIT Qualification
We have been organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the U.S. federal income tax laws, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2011, have satisfied such requirements through our taxable year ended December 31, 2020, and intend to continue to satisfy such requirements for subsequent taxable years. So long as we qualify as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on net taxable income that we distribute annually to our stockholders. In order to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the real estate qualification of sources of our income, the composition and value of our assets, the amounts we distribute to our stockholders and the diversity of ownership of our stock. In order to comply with REIT requirements, we may need to forgo otherwise attractive opportunities or limit the manner in which we conduct our operations. See “Risk Factors – Risks Related to our REIT Status and Certain Other Tax Items.”

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Risks Related to Our Portfolio and Our Business
Adverse economic, market and real estate conditions may adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
Our Portfolio is predominantly comprised of community and neighborhood shopping centers. Our performance is, therefore, subject to risks associated with owning and operating these types of real estate assets. See
“
Forward-Looking Statements
”
included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the factors that could affect our rental income and/or property operating expenses and therefore adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
The current pandemic of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, and future public health crises, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
Since December 2019, COVID-19 has spread globally, including to every state in the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and subsequently, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had and continues to have, and another pandemic or public health crisis in the future could have, repercussions across domestic and global economies and financial markets. The global impact of the COVID-19 outbreak evolved rapidly and many countries, and state and local governments in the United States, including those in which we own properties, have reacted by instituting government restrictions, border closings, quarantines, “shelter-in-place” orders and “social distancing” guidelines which have forced many of our tenants to close stores, reduce hours or significantly limit service, and has resulted in a dramatic increase in national unemployment and a significant economic contraction.
As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic is negatively impacting almost every industry directly or indirectly, with a particularly adverse effect on many of our tenants. Many such tenants, particularly those deemed “non-essential” by state and local governments, have sought rent relief, which we have provided on a case-by-case basis primarily in the form of rent deferrals, and, in more limited cases, in the form of rent abatements, and we may provide additional relief in the future. We have experienced an increase in the number of tenants that are delinquent in their lease obligations and we have recognized significantly higher levels of revenues deemed uncollectible and straight-line rent receivable reversals than historical levels. The COVID-19 pandemic has had and we expect will continue to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results and cash flows due to, among others, the following factors:
•
continuing or additional store closures at our properties resulting from related government or tenant actions;
•
a deterioration in our or our tenants’ ability to operate or delays in the supply of products or services to us or our tenants from vendors that are needed for efficient operations;
•
changes in consumer behavior that reduce the frequency of visits to our shopping centers, including as a result of increased e-commerce;
•
the inability of our tenants to meet their lease obligations to us due to changes in their businesses or local or national economic conditions, including high unemployment and reduced consumer discretionary spending;
•
liquidity issues resulting from (i) reduced cash flow from operations, (ii) the impact that lower operating results could have on the financial covenants in our debt agreements, and (iii) difficulty in accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, due to disruptions in financial and/or credit markets;
•
issues related to remote working, including increased cybersecurity risk and other technology and communication issues; and
•
the possibility that a significant number of our employees, particularly senior members of our management team, may become unable to work as a result of health issues related to COVID-19.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact us and our tenants will depend on future developments, which remain highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the speed and effectiveness of vaccine and treatment developments and deployment, potential mutations of COVID-19, including SARS-CoV-2 and the response thereto, the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, and potential sustained changes in consumer behavior, among others. Adverse developments related to these conditions could increase the number of tenants that close their stores, that are unable to meet their lease obligations to us, and/or that file for bankruptcy protection, and could
7
limit the demand for space from new tenants. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the full adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
We face considerable competition in the leasing market and may be unable to renew leases or re-lease space as leases expire. Consequently, we may be required to make rent or other concessions and/or incur significant capital expenditures to retain and attract tenants, which could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
There are numerous shopping venues, including regional malls, outlet malls, other shopping centers and e-commerce, which compete with our Portfolio in attracting and retaining retailers. As of December 31, 2020, leases are scheduled to expire in our Portfolio on a total of approximately 9.5% of leased GLA during 2021. We may not be able to renew or promptly re-lease expiring space and even if we do renew or re-lease such space, future rental rates may be lower than current rates and other terms may not be as favorable. In addition, we may be required to incur significant capital expenditures in order to retain or attract tenants. In these situations, our financial condition, operating results and cash flows could be adversely impacted.
We face considerable competition for tenants and the business of consumers. Consequently, we actively reinvest in our Portfolio in the form of repositioning and redevelopment projects. Such projects have inherent risks that could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
In order to maintain our attractiveness to retailers and consumers, we actively reinvest in our Portfolio in the form of repositioning and redevelopments projects. In addition to the risks associated with real estate investments in general, as described elsewhere, the risks associated with repositioning and redevelopment projects include: (1) delays or failures in obtaining necessary zoning, occupancy, land use, and other governmental permits; (2) abandonment of projects after expending resources to pursue such opportunities; (3) cost overruns; (4) construction delays; (5) failure to achieve expected occupancy and/or rent levels within the projected time frame, if at all; and (6) exposure to fluctuations in the general economy due to the time lag between commencement and completion of such projects. If we fail to reinvest in our Portfolio or maintain its attractiveness to retailers and consumers, if our capital improvements are not successful, or if retailers or consumers perceive that shopping at other venues (including e-commerce) is more convenient, cost-effective or otherwise more compelling, our financial condition, operating results and cash flows could be adversely impacted.
Our performance depends on the financial health of tenants in our Portfolio and our continued ability to collect rent when due. Significant retailer distress across our Portfolio could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
Our income is substantially derived from rental income on real property. As a result, our performance depends on the collection of rent from tenants in our Portfolio. Our income would be adversely affected if a significant number of our tenants failed to make rental payments when due. In addition, many of our tenants rely on external sources of financing to operate and grow their businesses, and disruptions in credit markets could adversely affect our tenants’ ability to obtain financing on favorable terms or at all. If our tenants are unable to secure necessary financing to continue to operate or expand their businesses, they may be unable to meet their rent obligations, renew leases or enter into new leases with us, which could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
In certain circumstances, a tenant may have a right to terminate its lease. For example, in certain circumstances, a failure by an anchor tenant to occupy their leased premises could result in lease terminations or reductions in rent due from other tenants in those shopping centers. In such situations, we cannot be certain that we will be able to re-lease space on similar or economically advantageous terms. The loss of rental revenues from a significant number of tenants and difficulty in replacing such tenants could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
We may be unable to collect balances and/or future contractual rents due from tenants that file for bankruptcy protection, which could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
We have seen ongoing retailer bankruptcies in recent years, including with respect to certain current and former tenants. If a tenant files for bankruptcy, we may not be able to collect amounts owed by that party prior to the filing. In addition, after filing for bankruptcy, a tenant may terminate any or all of its leases with us, which would result in a general unsecured claim against such tenant that would likely be worth less than the full amount owed to us for the remainder of the lease term. In these situations, we cannot be certain that we will be able to re-lease space on similar
8
or economically advantageous terms, and we may be required to make capital improvements to re-lease the space, which could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
Our expenses may remain constant or increase, even if income from our Portfolio decreases, which could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
Costs associated with our business, such as common area expenses, utilities, insurance, real estate taxes and corporate expenses, are relatively inflexible and generally do not decrease in the event that a property is not fully occupied, rental rates decrease, a tenant fails to pay rent or other circumstances cause our revenues to decrease. In addition, inflation, and increases in real estate taxes in certain jurisdictions in which we operate, could result in higher operating costs. If we are unable to lower our operating costs when revenues decline and/or are unable to pass along cost increases to our tenants, our financial condition, operating results and cash flows could be adversely impacted.
We intend to continue to sell non-strategic shopping centers. However, real estate property investments are illiquid, and it may not be possible to dispose of assets in a timely manner or on favorable terms, which could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
Our ability to dispose of properties on advantageous terms depends on factors beyond our control, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers, and we cannot predict the various market conditions affecting real estate investments that will exist at any particular time in the future. We may be required to expend funds to correct defects or to make capital improvements before a property can be sold and we cannot assure that we will have funds available to make such capital improvements; therefore, we may be unable to sell a property on favorable terms or at all. In addition, the ability to sell assets in our Portfolio may also be restricted by certain covenants in our debt agreements, such as the credit agreement governing our senior unsecured credit facility, as amended April 29, 2020 (the “Unsecured Credit Facility”). As a result, we may be unable to realize our investment objectives through dispositions, which could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
Our real estate assets may be subject to impairment charges.
We periodically assess whether there are any indicators, including property operating performance, changes in anticipated hold period and general market conditions, including the impact of COVID-19, that the carrying value of our real estate assets (including any related intangible assets or liabilities) may be impaired. A property’s value is considered to be impaired only if the estimated aggregate future undiscounted and unleveraged property cash flows, taking into account the anticipated probability-weighted hold period, are less than the carrying value of the property. In our estimate of cash flows, we consider trends and prospects for a property and the effects of demand and competition on expected future operating income. If we are evaluating the redevelopment or potential sale of an asset, the undiscounted future cash flows consider the most likely course of action as of the balance sheet date. Impairment charges have an immediate direct impact on our earnings. There can be no assurance that we will not take additional charges in the future related to the impairment of our assets. Any future impairment could have an adverse effect on our operating results in the period in which the charge is recognized.
We face competition in pursuing acquisition opportunities that could increase the cost of such acquisitions and/or limit our ability to grow, and we may not be able to generate expected returns or successfully integrate completed acquisitions into our existing operations, which could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
We continue to evaluate the market for acquisition opportunities and we may acquire properties when we believe strategic opportunities exist. Our ability to acquire properties on favorable terms and successfully integrate, operate, reposition or redevelop them is subject to several risks. We may be unable to acquire a desired property because of competition from other real estate investors, including from other well-capitalized REITs and institutional investment funds. Even if we are able to acquire a desired property, competition from such investors may significantly increase the purchase price. We may also abandon acquisition activities after expending significant resources to pursue such opportunities. Once we acquire new properties, these properties may not yield expected returns for several reasons, including: (1) failure to achieve expected occupancy and/or rent levels within the projected time frame, if at all; (2) inability to successfully integrate new properties into existing operations; and (3) exposure to fluctuations in the general economy, including due to the time lag between signing definitive documentation to acquire a new property and the closing of the acquisition. If any of these events occur, the cost of
9
the acquisition may exceed initial estimates or the expected returns may not achieve those originally contemplated, which could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
We utilize a significant amount of indebtedness in the operation of our business. Required debt service payments and other risks related to our debt financing could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately $5.2 billion aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding. Our leverage could have important consequences to us. For example, it could (1) require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to principal and interest payments on our indebtedness, reducing the cash flow available to fund our business, pay dividends, including those necessary to maintain our REIT qualification, or use for other purposes; (2) increase our vulnerability to an economic downturn, as debt payments are not reduced if the economic performance of any property or the Portfolio as a whole deteriorates; (3) limit our ability to withstand competitive pressures; and (4) reduce our flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions. In addition, non-compliance with the terms of our debt agreements could result in the acceleration of a significant amount of debt and could materially impair our ability to borrow unused amounts under existing financing arrangements or to obtain additional financing on favorable terms or at all. Any of these outcomes could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
Our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, and an increase in our debt service obligations may adversely affect our operating results and cash flows.
As of December 31, 2020, borrowings under our unsecured $350.0 million term loan agreement, as amended on April 29, 2020 (the “$350 Million Term Loan”), unsecured $300.0 million term loan agreement, as amended on April 29, 2020 (the “$300 Million Term Loan”), and unsecured $250.0 million Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) bear interest at variable rates. In addition, we had $1.2 billion of available liquidity under the Revolving Facility that would bear interest at variable rates upon borrowing. If interest rates were to increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount borrowed would remain the same, and our net income and cash flows would correspondingly decrease. In order to partially mitigate our exposure to increases in interest rates, we have entered into interest rate swap agreements on $800.0 million of our variable rate debt, which involve the exchange of variable for fixed rate interest payments. Taking into account our current interest rate swap agreements, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a $1.0 million increase in annual interest expense. Interest rate swap agreements on $500.0 million of our variable rate debt are scheduled to expire in 2021, which will increase our exposure to increases in interest rates if we do not enter into new interest rate swap agreements.
We may be adversely affected by changes in LIBOR reporting practices or the method by which LIBOR is determined.
In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) that regulates the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after December 31, 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”), which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative to LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. Subsequently, in November 2020, the Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR, announced that it intends to extend the cessation date for most LIBOR tenors to June 30, 2023. We are not able to predict when LIBOR may be limited or discontinued or when there will be sufficient liquidity in the SOFR market. As of December 31, 2020, we had $900.0 million of debt and seven interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $800.0 million outstanding that were indexed to LIBOR. In addition, we had $1.2 billion of available liquidity under the Revolving Facility that would be indexed to LIBOR upon borrowing. We are monitoring and evaluating the risks related to potential changes in LIBOR availability, which include potential changes in interest paid on debt and amounts received and paid on interest rate swaps. In addition, the value of debt or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR could also be impacted when LIBOR is limited or discontinued and contracts must be transitioned to a new alternative rate. Due to the extension noted above, we currently expect that all of our contracts indexed to LIBOR will be required to be transitioned to an alternative rate by June 30, 2023. However, it is possible that LIBOR may be discontinued prior to then. If a contract is not transitioned to an alternative rate and LIBOR is discontinued, the impact on our contracts is likely to vary by contract. Transitioning to an alternative rate may be challenging for some instruments, as they may require negotiation with the respective counterparty. Any of these events could have an adverse effect on our financing costs, and as a result, our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
10
We may be unable to obtain additional capital through the debt and equity markets, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
We cannot assure that we will be able to access the capital markets to obtain additional debt or equity capital on terms favorable to us. Our access to external capital depends upon several factors, including general market conditions, our current and potential future earnings, the market’s perception of our growth potential, our liquidity and leverage ratios, our cash distributions, and the market price of our common stock. Our inability to obtain debt or equity capital on favorable terms or at all could result in the disruption of our ability to: (1) operate, maintain or reinvest in our Portfolio; (2) repay or refinance our indebtedness on or before maturity; (3) acquire new properties; or (4) dispose of some of our assets on favorable terms due to an immediate need for capital.
Adverse changes in our credit rating could affect our borrowing capacity and borrowing terms.
Our creditworthiness is rated by nationally recognized credit rating agencies. The credit ratings assigned are based on our operating performance, liquidity and leverage ratios, financial condition and prospects, and other factors viewed by the credit rating agencies as relevant to our industry. Our credit rating can affect our ability to access debt capital, as well as the terms of certain existing and future debt financing we may obtain. Since we depend on debt financing to fund our business, an adverse change in our credit rating, including changes in our credit outlook, or even the initiation of a review of our credit rating that could result in an adverse change, could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
Covenants in our debt agreements may restrict our operating activities and adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
Our debt agreements contain various financial and operating covenants, including, among other things, certain coverage ratios and limitations on our ability to incur secured and unsecured debt. The breach of any of these covenants, if not cured within any applicable cure period, could result in a default and acceleration of certain of our indebtedness. If any of our indebtedness is accelerated prior to maturity, we may not be able to repay or refinance such indebtedness on favorable terms, or at all, which could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
Legal proceedings related to certain former employees will continue to result in certain costs and expenses.
As discussed under the heading “Legal Matters” in
Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies
to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, we finalized a settlement with the SEC with respect to certain reporting matters and we believe that no additional governmental proceedings relating to these matters will be brought against us. We understand that the SEC and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York are pursuing actions relating to these matters with respect to certain former employees. We remain obligated to advance funds to these former employees for legal and other professional fees pursuant to indemnification obligations and the amounts advanced are now in excess of our insurance coverage and are being funded by us. These payments could adversely affect our operating results and cash flows.
An uninsured loss on properties or a loss that exceeds the limits of our insurance policies could result in a loss of our investment or related revenue in those properties.
We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage, business interruption, and acts of terrorism insurance with policy specifications and insured limits customarily carried for similar properties. There are, however, certain types of losses, such as from hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, terrorism or wars, where coverages are limited or deductibles may be higher. In addition, tenants generally are required to indemnify and hold us harmless from liabilities resulting from injury to persons or damage to personal or real property on the premises due to activities conducted by tenants or their agents on the properties (including without limitation any environmental contamination), and to obtain liability and property damage insurance policies at the tenant’s expense, kept in full force during the term of the lease. However, tenants may not properly maintain their insurance policies or have the ability to pay the deductibles associated with such policies. Should a loss occur that is uninsured or in an amount exceeding the combined aggregate limits for the policies noted above, or in the event of a loss that is subject to a substantial deductible under an insurance policy, we could lose all or part of the capital invested in, and anticipated revenue from, one or more of the properties, which could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
11
Environmental conditions that exist at some of the properties in our Portfolio could result in significant unexpected costs.
We are subject to federal, state, and local environmental regulations that apply generally to the ownership of real property and the operations conducted on real property. Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, we may be or become liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances released on or in our property or disposed of by us or our tenants, as well as certain other potential costs which could relate to hazardous or toxic substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property). Such liability may be imposed whether or not we knew of, or were responsible for, the presence of these hazardous or toxic substances. As is the case with many community and neighborhood shopping centers, many of our properties had or have on-site dry cleaners and/or on-site gas stations, the prior or current use of which could potentially increase our environmental liability exposure. The costs of investigation, removal or remediation of such substances may be substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate such substances, may adversely affect our ability to lease such property, to borrow funds using such property as collateral, or to dispose of such property.
In addition, certain of our properties may contain asbestos-containing building materials (“ACBM”). Environmental laws require that ACBM be properly managed and maintained, and may impose fines and penalties on building owners or operators for failure to comply with these requirements. The laws also may allow third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos fibers.
Finally, we can provide no assurance that we are aware of all potential environmental liabilities or that the environmental studies performed by us have identified or will identify all material environmental conditions that may exist with respect to any of the properties in our Portfolio; that any previous owner, occupant or tenant did not create any material environmental condition not known to us; that our properties will not be affected by tenants or nearby properties or other unrelated third parties; or that changes in environmental laws and regulations will not result in additional environmental liabilities to us.
Further information relating to recognition of remediation obligations in accordance with GAAP is discussed under the heading “Environmental matters” in
Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies
to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.
Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and fire, safety and other regulations may require us to make expenditures that would adversely affect our cash flows.
All of the properties in our Portfolio are required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”). The ADA has separate compliance requirements for “public accommodations” and “commercial facilities,” but generally requires that buildings be made accessible to people with disabilities. Compliance with the ADA requirements could necessitate the removal of access barriers, and non-compliance could result in the imposition of fines by the U.S. government or an award of damages to private litigants, or both. We are continually assessing our Portfolio to determine our compliance with the current requirements of the ADA. We are required to comply with the ADA within the common areas of our Portfolio and we may not be able to pass on to our tenants the costs necessary to remediate any common area ADA issues, which could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows. In addition, we are required to operate the properties in compliance with fire and safety regulations, building codes, and other regulations, as they may be adopted by governmental agencies and bodies and become applicable to our Portfolio. As a result, we may be required to make substantial capital expenditures to comply with, and we may be restricted in our ability to renovate or redevelop the properties subject to, those requirements. The resulting expenditures and restrictions could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
We and our tenants face risks relating to cybersecurity attacks that could cause loss of confidential information and other business disruptions.
We rely extensively on computer systems to operate and manage our business and process transactions, and as a result, our business is at risk from and may be impacted by cybersecurity attacks. These attacks could include attempts to gain unauthorized access to our data and/or computer systems. Attacks can be either individual or highly organized attempts by very sophisticated organizations. We employ several measures to prevent, detect and mitigate these threats, which include password protection, frequent mandatory password change events, multi-factor authentication, mandatory employee trainings, firewall detection systems, frequent backups, a redundant data system
12
for core applications and annual penetration testing; however, there is no guarantee that such efforts will be successful in preventing or mitigating a cybersecurity attack. A cybersecurity attack could compromise the confidential information, including personally identifiable information, of our employees, tenants and vendors, disrupt the proper functioning of our networks, result in misstated financial reports or loan covenants and/or missed reporting deadlines, prevent us from properly monitoring our REIT qualification, result in our inability to maintain the building systems relied upon by our tenants for the efficient use of their leased space or require significant management attention and resources to remedy any damages that result. A successful attack could also disrupt and affect our business operations, damage our reputation, and result in significant litigation and remediation costs. Similarly, our tenants rely extensively on computer systems to process transactions and manage their businesses and thus are also at risk from and may be impacted by cybersecurity attacks. An interruption in the business operations of our tenants or a deterioration in their reputation resulting from a cybersecurity attack could adversely impact our business operations. As of December 31, 2020, we have not had any material incidences involving cybersecurity attacks.
Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure
BPG’s board of directors may change significant corporate policies without stockholder approval.
BPG’s investment, financing and dividend policies and our policies with respect to all other business activities, including strategy and operations, will be determined by BPG’s board of directors. These policies may be amended or revised at any time and from time to time at the discretion of BPG’s board of directors without a vote of our stockholders. BPG’s charter also provides that BPG’s board of directors may revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election without approval of BPG’s stockholders if it determines that it is no longer in BPG’s best interests to continue to qualify as a REIT. In addition, BPG’s board of directors may change BPG’s policies with respect to conflicts of interest, provided that such changes are consistent with applicable legal requirements. A change in any of these policies could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results, cash flows, and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay dividends.
BPG’s board of directors may approve the issuance of stock, including preferred stock, with terms that may discourage a third party from acquiring us.
BPG’s charter permits its board of directors to authorize the issuance of stock in one or more classes or series. Our board of directors may also classify or reclassify any unissued stock and establish the preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of any such stock, which rights may be superior to those of our common stock. Thus, BPG’s board of directors could authorize the issuance of shares of a class or series of stock with terms and conditions which could have the effect of discouraging an unsolicited acquisition of us or a change of our control in which holders of some or a majority of BPG’s outstanding common stock might receive a premium for their shares over the then-current market price of our common stock.
The rights of BPG and BPG stockholders to take action against BPG’s directors and officers are limited.
BPG’s charter eliminates the liability of BPG’s directors and officers to us and BPG’s stockholders for money damages to the maximum extent permitted under Maryland law. Under Maryland law and BPG’s charter, BPG’s directors and officers do not have any liability to BPG or BPG’s stockholders for money damages other than liability resulting from:
•
actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services; or
•
active and deliberate dishonesty by the director or officer that was established by a final judgment and is material to the cause of action adjudicated.
BPG’s charter authorizes BPG and BPG’s bylaws require BPG to indemnify each of BPG’s directors and officers who is made a party to or witness in a proceeding by reason of his or her service in those capacities (or in a similar capacity at another entity at the request of BPG), to the maximum extent permitted under Maryland law, from and against any claim or liability to which such person may become subject by reason of his or her status as a present or former director or officer of BPG. In addition, BPG may be obligated to pay or reimburse the expenses incurred by BPG’s present and former directors and officers without requiring a preliminary determination of their ultimate entitlement to indemnification. As a result, BPG and BPG’s stockholders may have more limited rights to recover money damages from BPG’s directors and officers than might otherwise exist absent these provisions in BPG’s
13
charter and bylaws or that might exist with other companies, which could limit the recourse of stockholders in the event of actions that are not in BPG’s best interests.
BPG’s charter contains a provision that expressly permits BPG’s non-employee directors to compete with us.
BPG’s charter provides that, to the maximum extent permitted under Maryland law, BPG renounces any interest or expectancy that BPG has in, or any right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunities that are from time to time presented to or developed by BPG’s directors or their affiliates, other than to those directors who are employed by BPG or BPG’s subsidiaries, unless the business opportunity is expressly offered or made known to such person in his or her capacity as a director. Non-employee directors or any of their affiliates will not have any duty to communicate or offer such transaction or business opportunity to us or to refrain from engaging, directly or indirectly, in the same business activities or similar business activities or lines of business in which we or our affiliates engage or propose to engage or to refrain from otherwise competing with us or our affiliates. These provisions may deprive us of opportunities which we may have otherwise wanted to pursue.
BPG’s charter provides that, to the maximum extent permitted under Maryland law, each of BPG’s non-employee directors, and any of their affiliates, may:
•
acquire, hold and dispose of shares of BPG’s stock or OP Units for his or her own account or for the account of others, and exercise all of the rights of a stockholder of Brixmor Property Group Inc. or a limited partner of our Operating Partnership, to the same extent and in the same manner as if he, she or it were not BPG’s director or stockholder; and
•
in his, her or its personal capacity or in his, her or its capacity as a director, officer, trustee, stockholder, partner, member, equity owner, manager, advisor or employee of any other person, have business interests and engage, directly or indirectly, in business activities that are similar to ours or compete with us, that involve a business opportunity that we could seize and develop or that include the acquisition, syndication, holding, management, development, operation or disposition of interests in mortgages, real property or persons engaged in the real estate business.
Risks Related to our REIT Status and Certain Other Tax Items
If BPG does not maintain its qualification as a REIT, it will be subject to tax as a regular corporation and could face a substantial tax liability.
BPG intends to continue to operate so as to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). However, qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex Code provisions for which only a limited number of judicial or administrative interpretations exist. Notwithstanding the availability of cure provisions in the Code, BPG could fail to meet various compliance requirements, which could jeopardize its REIT status. Furthermore, new tax legislation, administrative guidance or court decisions, in each instance potentially with retroactive effect, could make it more difficult or impossible for BPG to qualify as a REIT.
If BPG fails to qualify as a REIT in any tax year and BPG is not entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions:
•
BPG would be taxed as a non-REIT “C” corporation, which under current laws, among other things, means being unable to deduct dividends paid to stockholders in computing taxable income and being subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at normal corporate income tax rates, which would reduce BPG’s cash flows and funds available for distribution to stockholders; and
•
BPG would be disqualified from taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year in which it failed to qualify as a REIT.
The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), the U.S. Treasury Department and Congress frequently review U.S. federal income tax legislation, regulations and other guidance. BPG cannot predict whether, when, or to what extent new U.S. federal tax laws, regulations, interpretations, or rulings will be adopted. Any legislative action may prospectively or retroactively modify BPG’s tax treatment and, therefore, may adversely affect taxation of BPG or BPG’s stockholders. Stockholders should consult with their tax advisors with respect to the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in BPG’s stock.
14
Complying with REIT requirements may force BPG to liquidate or restructure investments or forgo otherwise attractive investment opportunities.
In order to qualify as a REIT, BPG must ensure that, at the end of each calendar quarter, at least 75% of the value of its assets consists of cash, cash equivalents, government securities and qualified REIT real estate assets. BPG’s investments in securities cannot include more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or 10% of the total value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer unless: (1) such issuer is a REIT; (2) BPG and such issuer jointly elect for such issuer to be treated as a “taxable REIT subsidiary” under the Code; or (3) for purposes of the 10% value limitation only, the securities satisfy certain requirements and are not considered “securities” for this test. The total value of all of BPG’s investments in taxable REIT subsidiaries cannot exceed 20% of the value of BPG’s total assets. In addition, no more than 5% of the value of BPG’s assets can consist of the securities of any one issuer other than a taxable REIT subsidiary, and no more than 25% of the value of BPG’s total assets may be represented by debt instruments issued by “publicly offered REITs” (as defined under the Code) that are “nonqualified” (e.g., not secured by real property or interests in real property). If BPG fails to comply with these requirements, BPG must dispose of a portion of its assets within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter in order to avoid losing its REIT status and suffering adverse tax consequences. In addition to the quarterly asset test requirements, BPG must annually satisfy two income test requirements (the “75% and 95% gross income tests”), which require that at least 75% of BPG’s gross income be derived from passive real estate sources, including rents from real property, gains from the disposition of real property and other specified qualifying real estate-sourced income. In addition, at least 95% of BPG’s gross income generally must be derived from items qualifying for the 75% income test and other specified interest, dividend and portfolio-type income. As a result, BPG may be required to liquidate from its portfolio, or contribute to a taxable REIT subsidiary, otherwise attractive investments in order to maintain its qualification as a REIT. These actions could reduce BPG’s income and amounts available for distribution to its stockholders. BPG may be unable to pursue investments that would otherwise be advantageous to it in order to satisfy the asset diversification or income requirements for qualifying as a REIT.
In addition, the REIT provisions of the Code impose a 100% tax on income from “prohibited transactions.” Prohibited transactions generally include sales of assets, other than foreclosure property, that constitute inventory or other property held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. Although BPG does not intend to hold any properties that would be characterized as held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of BPG’s business, unless a sale or disposition qualifies under certain statutory safe harbors, such characterization is a factual determination and no guarantee can be given that the IRS would agree with BPG’s characterization of its properties or that BPG will be able to make use of the otherwise available safe harbors. This 100% tax could affect BPG’s decisions to sell property if it believes such sales could be treated as prohibited transactions. However, BPG would not be subject to this tax if it were to sell such assets through a taxable REIT subsidiary.
BPG’s charter does not permit any person to own more than 9.8% of BPG’s outstanding common stock or of BPG’s outstanding stock of all classes or series, and attempts to acquire BPG’s common stock or BPG’s stock of all other classes or series in excess of these limits would not be effective without an exemption from these limits by BPG’s board of directors.
For BPG to qualify as a REIT under the Code, not more than 50% of the value of BPG’s outstanding stock may be owned directly or indirectly by five or fewer individuals (including certain entities treated as individuals for this purpose) during the last half of a taxable year. For the purpose of assisting BPG’s qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, among other purposes, BPG’s charter prohibits beneficial or constructive ownership by any individual of more than a certain percentage, currently 9.8%, in value or by number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of BPG’s common stock or 9.8% in value of the outstanding shares of BPG’s capital stock, which BPG refers to as the “ownership limit.” The constructive ownership rules under the Code and BPG’s charter are complex and may cause shares of the outstanding common stock owned by a group of related individuals to be deemed to be constructively owned by one individual. As a result, the acquisition of less than 9.8% of BPG’s outstanding common stock or BPG’s capital stock by an individual could cause the individual to own constructively in excess of 9.8% of BPG’s outstanding common stock or BPG’s capital stock, respectively, and thus violate the ownership limit. Any attempt to own or transfer shares of BPG’s stock in excess of the ownership limit without an exemption from BPG’s board of directors will result either in the shares in excess of the limit being transferred by operation of the charter to a charitable trust or the transfer being void, and the individual who attempted to acquire such excess shares will not have any rights in such excess shares. In addition, there can be no assurance that BPG’s board of directors, as permitted in the charter, will not decrease this ownership limit in the future.
15
The ownership limit may have the effect of precluding a change in control of BPG by a third party, even if such change in control would be in the best interests of BPG’s stockholders or would result in BPG’s stockholders receiving a premium for their shares over the then-current market price of BPG’s common stock, and even if such change in control would not reasonably jeopardize BPG’s REIT status.
Failure to qualify as a domestically-controlled REIT could subject BPG’s non-U.S. stockholders to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.
BPG will be a domestically-controlled REIT if, at all times during a specified testing period, less than 50% in value of its shares are held directly or indirectly by non-U.S. stockholders. Because its shares are publicly traded, BPG cannot guarantee that it will, in fact, be a domestically-controlled REIT. If BPG fails to qualify as a domestically-controlled REIT, its non-U.S. stockholders that otherwise would not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the gain attributable to a sale of BPG’s shares of common stock would be subject to taxation upon such a sale if either (a) the shares were not considered to be “regularly traded” under applicable Treasury regulations on an established securities market, such as the NYSE, or (b) the shares were considered to be “regularly traded” on an established securities market and the selling non-U.S. stockholder owned, actually or constructively, more than 10% in value of the outstanding shares at any time during specified testing periods. If gain on the sale or exchange of BPG’s shares of common stock was subject to taxation for these reasons, the non-U.S. stockholder would be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to any gain on a net basis in a manner similar to the taxation of a taxable U.S. stockholder, subject to any applicable alternative minimum tax and special alternative minimum tax in the case of nonresident alien individuals, and corporate non-U.S. stockholders may be subject to an additional branch profits tax.
BPG may choose to make distributions in BPG’s own stock, in which case stockholders may be required to pay income taxes without receiving any cash dividends.
In connection with BPG’s qualification as a REIT, BPG is required to annually distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. Although it does not currently intend to do so, in order to satisfy this requirement, BPG is permitted, subject to certain conditions and limitations, to make distributions that are in whole or in part payable in shares of BPG’s stock. Taxable stockholders receiving such distributions will be required to include the full amount of such distributions as ordinary dividend income to the extent of BPG’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, U.S. stockholders may be required to pay income taxes with respect to such distributions in excess of the cash portion of the distribution received. Accordingly, U.S. stockholders receiving a distribution in shares of BPG’s stock may be required to sell shares received in such distribution or may be required to sell other stock or assets owned by them, at a time that may be disadvantageous, in order to satisfy any tax imposed on such distribution. Furthermore, with respect to certain non-U.S. stockholders, BPG may be required to withhold U.S. tax with respect to such distribution, including in respect of all or a portion of such distribution that is payable in shares of BPG’s stock, by withholding or disposing of part of the shares included in such distribution and using the net proceeds of such disposition to satisfy the withholding tax imposed. In addition, if a significant number of BPG’s stockholders determine to sell shares of BPG’s stock in order to pay taxes owed on dividend income, such sales may put downward pressure on the market price of BPG’s stock.
Dividends payable by REITs do not qualify for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends.
The maximum tax rate applicable to qualified dividend income payable by non-REIT “C” corporations to certain non-corporate U.S. stockholders has been reduced by legislation to 23.8% (taking into account the 3.8% Medicare tax applicable to net investment income). Dividends payable by REITs, however, generally are not eligible for the reduced rates. Effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026, non-corporate U.S. stockholders may deduct 20% of their dividends from REITs (excluding qualified dividend income and capital gain dividends). For non-corporate U.S. stockholders in the top marginal tax bracket of 37%, the deduction for REIT dividends yields an effective income tax rate of 29.6% on REIT dividends, which is higher than the 23.8% tax rate on qualified dividend income paid by non-REIT “C” corporations. As a result of the more favorable rates applicable to non-REIT “C” corporate qualified dividends, certain non-corporate investors could perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stocks of non-REIT “C” corporations that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of the shares of REITs, including BPG.

More specific information with respect to each of our properties is set forth in Exhibit 99.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Leases
Our anchor tenants generally have leases with original terms ranging from 10 to 20 years, and may or may not contain renewal options for one or more additional periods. Smaller tenants typically have leases with original terms ranging from five to 10 years, and may or may not contain renewal options for one or more additional periods. Leases in our Portfolio generally provide for the payment of fixed monthly base rent. Certain leases also provide for the payment of additional rent based upon a percentage of the tenant’s gross sales above a certain threshold level. Leases typically provide for contractual increases in base rent over both the original lease term and any renewal option periods, and the reimbursement of property operating expenses, including common area expenses, utilities (if not separately metered), insurance and real estate taxes, and certain capital expenditures related to the maintenance of our properties.
The foregoing general description of the characteristics of the leases of our Portfolio is not intended to describe all leases, and material variations in lease terms may exist.
Insurance
We have a wholly owned captive insurance company, Brixmor Incap, LLC (“Incap”). Incap underwrites the first layer of general liability insurance for our properties. We formed Incap as part of our overall risk management program to stabilize insurance costs, manage exposure and recoup expenses through the function of the captive program. Incap is capitalized in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements.
We also maintain commercial liability, fire, extended coverage, earthquake, business interruption, and rental loss insurance covering all of the properties in our Portfolio. We select coverage specifications and insured limits which we believe to be appropriate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of coverage, industry practice, and the nature of the shopping centers in our Portfolio. In addition, tenants generally are required to indemnify and hold us harmless from liabilities resulting from injury to persons or damage to personal or real property on the premises due to activities conducted by tenants or their agents on the properties (including without limitation any environmental contamination), and to obtain liability and property damage insurance policies at the tenant’s expense, kept in full force during the term of the lease. In the opinion of our management, all of the properties in our Portfolio are currently adequately insured. We do not carry insurance for generally uninsured losses, such as losses from war. See
“Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Portfolio and Our Business – An uninsured loss on properties or a loss that exceeds the limits of our insurance policies could result in a loss of our investment or related revenue in those properties.”

Item 5

Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
BPG’s common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “BRX.” As of February 1, 2021, the number of holders of record of BPG’s common stock was 595. This figure does not represent the actual number of beneficial owners of BPG’s common stock because shares of BPG’s common stock are frequently held in “street name” by securities dealers and others for the benefit of beneficial owners who may vote the shares.
BPG has elected to qualify as a REIT in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To qualify as a REIT, BPG must meet several organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. Management intends to satisfy these requirements and maintain BPG’s REIT status. As a REIT, BPG generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that distributions to its stockholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code.
BPG’s future distributions will be at the sole discretion of BPG’s Board of Directors. When determining the amount of future distributions, we expect that BPG’s Board of Directors will consider, among other factors; (1) the amount of cash generated from our operating activities; (2) the amount of cash required for leasing and capital expenditures; (3) the amount of cash required for debt repayments, reinvestment activity, net acquisitions, and share repurchases; (4) the amount of cash required to be distributed to maintain BPG’s status as a REIT and to reduce any income and excise taxes that BPG otherwise would be required to pay; (5) any limitations on our distributions contained in our financing agreements, including, without limitation, in our senior unsecured credit facility, as amended April 29, 2020 (the “Unsecured Credit Facility”); (6) the sufficiency of legally-available assets; and (7) our ability to continue to access additional sources of capital.
To the extent BPG is prevented, by provisions of our financing agreements or otherwise, from distributing 100% of BPG’s REIT taxable income, or otherwise does not distribute 100% of BPG’s REIT taxable income, BPG will be subject to income tax, and potentially excise tax, on the retained amounts. If our operations do not generate sufficient cash flow to allow BPG to satisfy the REIT distribution requirements, we may be required to fund distributions with working capital, borrowed funds, or asset sales, or we may be required to reduce such distributions or make such distributions in whole or in part payable in shares of BPG’s stock. See
Item 1A. “Risk Factors”
for additional information regarding risk factors that could adversely affect our results of operations.
Distributions to the extent of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes will be taxable to stockholders as ordinary dividend income or capital gain income. Distributions in excess of taxable earnings and profits generally will be treated as non-taxable return of capital. These distributions, to the extent that they do not exceed the stockholder’s adjusted tax basis in its common shares, have the effect of deferring taxation until the sale of the stockholder’s common shares. To the extent that distributions are both in excess of taxable earnings and profits and in excess of the stockholder’s adjusted tax basis in its common shares, the distributions will be treated as capital gains from the sale of common shares. For the taxable year ended December 31, 2020, 100.0% of the Company’s distributions to stockholders constituted taxable ordinary income.

BPG’s Total Stockholder Return Performance
The following performance chart compares, for the period from December 31, 2015 through December 31, 2020, the cumulative total return of BPG’s common stock with the cumulative total return of the S&P 500 Index and the FTSE NAREIT Equity Shopping Centers Index. All stockholder return performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends. The information in this paragraph and the following performance chart are deemed to be furnished, not filed.
Sales of Unregistered Equity Securities
There were no unregistered sales of equity securities during the year ended December 31, 2020.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On January 9, 2020, we established a new share repurchase program (the “Program”) for up to $400.0 million of our common stock. The Program is scheduled to expire on January 9, 2023, unless suspended or extended by the Board of Directors. The Program replaced our prior share repurchase program, which expired on December 5, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we repurchased 1,650,115 shares of common stock under the Program at an average price per share of $15.14 for a total of $25.0 million, excluding commissions. We incurred total commissions of less than $0.1 million in conjunction with the Program during the year ended December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, the Program had $375.0 million of available repurchase capacity. During the three months ended December 31, 2020, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock.

Brixmor Property Group Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, “BPG”) is an internally-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Brixmor Operating Partnership LP and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Operating Partnership”) is the entity through which BPG conducts substantially all of its operations and owns substantially all of its assets. BPG owns 100% of the common stock of BPG Subsidiary Inc. (“BPG Sub”), which, in turn, is the sole member of Brixmor OP GP LLC (the “General Partner”), the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our,” and “us” mean BPG and the Operating Partnership, collectively. We believe we own and operate one of the largest open-air retail portfolios by gross leasable area (“GLA”) in the United States (“U.S.”), comprised primarily of community and neighborhood shopping centers. As of December 31, 2020, our portfolio was comprised of 393 shopping centers (the “Portfolio”) totaling approximately 69 million square feet of GLA. Our high-quality national Portfolio is primarily located within established trade areas in the top 50 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (“MSAs”) in the U.S., and our shopping centers are primarily anchored by non-discretionary and value-oriented retailers, as well as consumer-oriented service providers. As of December 31, 2020, our three largest tenants by annualized base rent (“ABR”) were The TJX Companies, Inc. (“TJX”), The Kroger Co. (“Kroger”), and Dollar Tree Stores, Inc. BPG has been organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the U.S. federal income tax laws, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2011, has maintained such requirements through our taxable year ended December 31, 2020, and intends to satisfy such requirements for subsequent taxable years.
Our primary objective is to maximize total returns to our stockholders through consistent, sustainable growth in cash flow. Our key strategies to achieve this objective include proactively managing our Portfolio to drive internal growth, pursuing value-enhancing reinvestment opportunities and prudently executing on acquisition and disposition activity, while also maintaining a flexible capital structure positioned for growth. In addition, as we execute on our key strategies, we do so guided by a commitment to operate in a socially responsible manner that allows us to realize our purpose of owning and managing properties that are the centers of the communities we serve.
We believe the following set of competitive advantages positions us to successfully execute on our key strategies:
•
Expansive Retailer Relationships – We believe that the scale of our asset base and our nationwide footprint represent competitive advantages in supporting the growth objectives of the nation’s largest and most successful retailers. We believe that we are one of the largest landlords by GLA to TJX and Kroger, as well as a key landlord to most major grocers and retail category leaders. We believe that our strong relationships with leading retailers afford us unique insight into their strategies and priority access to their expansion plans.
•
Fully-Integrated Operating Platform – We manage a fully-integrated operating platform, leveraging our national scope and demonstrating our commitment to operating with a strong regional and local presence. We provide our tenants with dedicated service through both our national accounts leasing team based in New York and our network of four regional offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia and San Diego, as well as our 11 leasing and property management satellite offices throughout the country. We believe that this structure enables us to obtain critical national market intelligence, while also benefitting from the regional and local expertise of our leasing and operations teams.
•
Experienced Management – Senior members of our management team are seasoned real estate operators with extensive public company leadership experience. Our management team has deep industry knowledge and well-established relationships with retailers, brokers and vendors through many years of operational and transactional experience, as well as significant capital markets capabilities and expertise in executing value-enhancing reinvestment opportunities.

Factors That May Influence Our Future Results
We derive our rental income primarily from base rent and expense reimbursements paid by tenants to us under existing leases at each of our properties. Expense reimbursements primarily consist of payments made by tenants to us for their proportionate share of property operating expenses, including common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, and certain capital expenditures related to the maintenance of our properties.
Our ability to maintain or increase rental income is primarily dependent on our ability to maintain or increase rental rates, renew expiring leases and/or lease available space. Increases in our property operating expenses, including repairs and maintenance, landscaping, snow removal, security, ground rent related to properties for which we are the lessee, utilities, insurance, real estate taxes and various other costs, to the extent they are not reimbursed by tenants or offset by increases in rental income, will adversely impact our overall performance.
See
“
Forward-Looking Statements
”
included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the factors that could affect our rental income and/or property operating expenses. As discussed below, the COVID-19 pandemic is significantly impacting our business. See
Item 1A. “Risk Factors”
for a further discussion of other factors that could impact our future results.
Impacts on Business from COVID-19
The global outbreak of COVID-19 and the public health measures that have been undertaken in response have had a significant adverse impact on our business, our tenants and the global economy. The effects of COVID-19, including related government restrictions, border closings, quarantines, “shelter-in-place” orders and “social distancing” guidelines, have forced many of our tenants to close stores, reduce hours or significantly limit service, and have resulted in a dramatic increase in national unemployment and a significant economic contraction. Since we cannot estimate when the COVID-19 pandemic and the responsive measures to combat it will end, we cannot estimate the ultimate operational and financial impact of COVID-19 on our business. Approximately 70% of our shopping centers are anchored by grocery stores. Grocery stores and other essential tenants have remained open throughout this time and many have experienced stable or increased sales, which we believe will help to partially mitigate the adverse impact of COVID-19 on our business. In addition, we have encouraged our tenants whose businesses have been impacted by COVID-19 to explore their eligibility for benefits under government assistance programs intended to provide financial support to affected businesses. COVID-19 significantly impacted our operations during 2020, and the following operating trends, combined with macroeconomic trends such as significantly increased unemployment and changes in consumer spending, lead us to believe that our operating results for 2021 will continue to be adversely affected by COVID-19.

Timing of rental payments: Certain tenants experiencing economic difficulties during the pandemic have sought rent relief, which has been provided on a case-by-case basis primarily in the form of rent deferrals, and, in more limited cases, in the form of rent abatements. Rent deferrals have significantly increased our Receivables, net. We are in ongoing discussions with our tenants regarding rent that has not yet been collected or addressed through executed deferral or abatement agreements.
•
Leasing activity: While lease execution velocity notably slowed in the second quarter of 2020, it has since recovered to levels similar to those experienced in prior periods.
27
We have taken various steps to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on our liquidity, including the deferral of approximately $130.0 million of capital expenditures originally anticipated in 2020 and the temporary suspension of our quarterly cash dividend in the second and third quarters of 2020. In June 2020 and August 2020, we issued an aggregate of $800.0 million principal amount of 4.050% Senior Notes due 2030, the net proceeds of which were used to repurchase our 3.875% Senior Notes due 2022, repay outstanding indebtedness under our $1.25 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), and for general corporate purposes. As of February 5, 2021, we have approximately $330.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, approximately $1.2 billion of remaining availability under the Revolving Facility, and no debt maturities until 2022.
We expect the significance of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic slowdown on our financial and operational results to be dictated by, among other things, the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the speed and effectiveness of vaccine and treatment developments and deployment, potential mutations of COVID-19, including SARS-CoV-2 and the response thereto, the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, and potential sustained changes in consumer behavior. Adverse developments related to these conditions could increase the number of tenants that are unable to meet their lease obligations to us, that close their stores, and/or that file for bankruptcy protection, and could limit the demand for space from new tenants. Therefore, there can be no assurances that we will not experience declines in revenues, net income or funds from operations, which could be material. See

Rental income
The decrease in rental income for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $115.4 million, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, was due to a $28.2 million decrease in rental income due to net disposition activity and an $87.2 million decrease for the remaining portfolio. The decrease for the remaining portfolio was due to (i) a $55.9 million increase in revenues deemed uncollectible; (ii) a $35.1 million decrease in straight-line rental income, net; (iii) a $3.2 million decrease in percentage rents; (iv) a $1.8 million decrease in accretion of above- and below-market leases and tenant inducements, net; (v) a $1.7 million decrease in expense reimbursements; and (vi) a $0.4 million decrease in ancillary and other rental income; partially offset by (vii) a $7.7 million increase in base rent; and (viii) a $3.2 million increase in lease termination fees. The increase in revenues deemed uncollectible and decrease in straight-line rental income, net were primarily attributable to COVID-19. The $7.7 million increase in base rent was primarily due to contractual rent increases, an increase in weighted average billed occupancy, and positive rent spreads for new and renewal leases and option exercises of 7.2% during the year ended December 31, 2020 and 10.9% during the year ended December 31, 2019, partially offset by COVID-19 rent deferrals accounted for as lease modifications and rent abatements.
Other revenues
The increase in other revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $0.4 million, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, was primarily due to an increase in tax increment financing income.

Operating costs
The decrease in operating costs for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $13.2 million, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, was primarily due to a $3.8 million decrease in operating costs due to net disposition activity and a $9.4 million decrease for the remaining portfolio primarily due to proactive cost reductions taken in response to COVID-19 and favorable insurance captive adjustments.
Real estate taxes
The decrease in real estate taxes for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $2.0 million, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, was primarily due to a $3.7 million decrease in real estate taxes due to net disposition activity, partially offset by a $1.7 million increase for the remaining portfolio primarily due to increases in assessments from several jurisdictions, partially offset by an increase in capitalized real estate taxes.
Depreciation and amortization
The increase in depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $3.2 million, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, was primarily due to a $10.8 million increase for assets owned for the full year primarily related to value-enhancing reinvestment capital expenditures and tenant write-offs, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization related to acquired in-place lease intangibles and a $7.6 million decrease in depreciation and amortization due to net disposition activity.
Impairment of real estate assets
During the year ended December 31, 2020, aggregate impairment of $19.6 million was recognized on three shopping centers and one partial shopping center as a result of disposition activity and three operating properties. During the year ended December 31, 2019, aggregate impairment of $24.4 million was recognized on six shopping centers and one partial shopping center as a result of disposition activity, three operating properties and one partial operating property. Impairments recognized were due to changes in anticipated hold periods primarily in connection with our capital recycling program.
General and administrative
The decrease in general and administrative costs for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $4.0 million, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, was primarily due to a decrease in marketing, professional and travel costs due to COVID-19 and a decrease in net compensation costs, partially offset by an increase in litigation and other non-routine legal expenses.
During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, construction compensation costs of $14.6 million and $14.7 million, respectively, were capitalized to building and improvements and leasing legal costs of $0.8 million and $0.0 million, respectively, and leasing commission costs of $5.7 million and $6.0 million, respectively, were capitalized to deferred charges and prepaid expenses, net.

The decrease in dividends and interest for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $0.2 million, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, was primarily due to a $0.2 million decrease in investment income from marketable securities.
Interest expense
The increase in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $10.2 million, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, was primarily due to higher overall debt obligations as we bolstered liquidity in response to COVID-19.
Gain on sale of real estate assets
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we disposed of seven shopping centers, five partial shopping centers and one land parcel that resulted in aggregate gain of $32.6 million. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2020, we received aggregate net proceeds of $1.0 million and resolved contingencies of $0.5 million from previously disposed assets resulting in aggregate gain of $1.5 million, and we received final insurance proceeds related to two shopping centers that were damaged by Hurricane Michael resulting in aggregate gain of $0.4 million. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we disposed of 18 shopping centers and two partial shopping centers that resulted in aggregate gain of $53.4 million. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2019, we received aggregate net proceeds of $1.6 million from previously disposed assets resulting in aggregate gain of $1.4 million.
Loss on extinguishment of debt, net
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we repurchased all $500.0 million of our 3.875% Senior Notes due 2022 and repaid our $7.0 million secured loan, resulting in a $28.1 million loss on extinguishment of debt, net. Loss on extinguishment of debt, net includes $26.2 million of prepayment fees and $1.9 million of accelerated unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts, net of premiums. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we repaid $500.0 million of an unsecured term loan under our senior unsecured credit facility agreement, as amended April 29, 2020 (the “Unsecured Credit Facility”), resulting in a $1.6 million loss on extinguishment of debt due to the acceleration of unamortized debt issuance costs.
Other
The increase in other expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $2.4 million, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, was primarily due to unfavorable tax adjustments in the current year.
Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2019 to the Year Ended December 31, 2018
See Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 10, 2020, for a discussion of the comparison of the year ended December 31, 2019 to the year ended December 31, 2018.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We anticipate that our cash flows from the sources listed below will provide adequate capital for the next 12 months and beyond for all anticipated uses, including all scheduled payments on our outstanding debt, current and
31
anticipated tenant and other capital improvements, stockholder distributions to maintain our qualification as a REIT and other obligations associated with conducting our business.
Our primary expected sources and uses of capital are as follows:
Sources
•
cash and cash equivalent balances;
•
operating cash flow;
•
available borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility;
•
dispositions;
•
issuance of long-term debt; and
•
issuance of equity securities.
Uses
•
maintenance capital expenditures;
•
leasing capital expenditures;
•
debt repayments;
•
dividend/distribution payments
•
value-enhancing reinvestment capital expenditures;
•
acquisitions; and
•
repurchases of equity securities.
We believe our capital structure provides us with the financial flexibility and capacity to fund our current capital needs as well as future growth opportunities. We have access to multiple forms of capital, including secured property level debt, unsecured corporate level debt, preferred equity, and common equity, which will allow us to efficiently execute on our strategic and operational objectives. We currently have investment grade credit ratings from all three major credit rating agencies. As of December 31, 2020, we had $1.2 billion of available liquidity under our Revolving Facility and $370.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. We intend to continue to enhance our financial and operational flexibility through the additional extension of the duration of our debt.
As previously discussed under the header “Impacts on Business from COVID-19”, the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and we expect will continue to have, an adverse impact on our liquidity and capital resources. Future decreases in cash flow from operations resulting from rent deferrals or abatements, tenant defaults, or decreases in rental rates or occupancy, would decrease the cash available for the capital uses described above, including payment of dividends. The decline in our stock price since the onset of the pandemic has decreased the likelihood of utilizing our at-the-market equity offering program in the near future. In June 2020 and August 2020, we issued an aggregate of $800.0 million principal amount of 4.050% Senior Notes due 2030, the net proceeds of which were used to repurchase our 3.875% Senior Notes due 2022, repay outstanding indebtedness under our Revolving Facility, and for general corporate purposes. However, the impacts of COVID-19 may increase risks related to the pricing and availability of future debt financing. In addition, a significant decline in our operating performance in the future could result in us not satisfying the financial covenants applicable to our debt and/or defaulting on our debt, which could impact our ability to incur additional debt, including the remaining capacity on our Revolving Facility.
We have taken various steps to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on our liquidity, including the deferral of approximately $130.0 million of capital expenditures originally anticipated in 2020 and the temporary suspension of our quarterly cash dividend in the second and third quarters of 2020. In addition, we have no debt maturities until 2022. However, since we do not know the ultimate severity, scope or duration of the pandemic, and thus cannot predict the impact it will ultimately have on our tenants and on the debt and equity capital markets, we cannot estimate the impact it will have on our liquidity and capital resources.
In order to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding
32
net capital gains. We intend to continue to satisfy this requirement and maintain our REIT status. Cash dividends paid to common stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $170.4 million and $334.9 million, respectively. In response to COVID-19, our Board of Directors temporarily suspended the dividend in the second and third quarters of 2020. In October 2020, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.215 per common share for the fourth quarter of 2020. The dividend was paid on January 15, 2021 to shareholders of record on January 6, 2021. In February 2021, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.215 per common share for the first quarter of 2021. The dividend is payable on April 15, 2021 to shareholders of record on April 5, 2021. Our Board of Directors will reevaluate the dividend on a quarterly basis, taking into account a variety of relevant factors, including REIT taxable income.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash for BPG and the Operating Partnership were $370.1 million and $360.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2020. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash for BPG and the Operating Partnership were $21.5 million as of December 31, 2019.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities primarily consists of cash inflows from tenant rental payments and expense reimbursements and cash outflows for property operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and interest expense.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, our net cash provided by operating activities decreased $85.6 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2019. The decrease is primarily due to (i) a decrease from net working capital primarily due to decreased cash collection levels as a result of COVID-19; (ii) a decrease in net operating income due to net disposition activity; and (iii) an increase in cash outflows for interest expense; partially offset by (iv) an increase in lease termination fees; and (v) a decrease in cash outflows for general and administrative expense.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities is impacted by the nature, timing and magnitude of acquisition and disposition activity and improvements to and investments in our shopping centers, including capital expenditures associated with our value-enhancing reinvestment program.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, our net cash used in investing activities decreased $4.8 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2019. The decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease of $110.3 million in improvements to and investments in real estate assets; and (ii) a decrease of $76.2 million in acquisitions of real estate assets; partially offset by (iii) a decrease of $167.8 million in net proceeds from sales of real estate assets; and (iv) a $13.9 million decrease in net proceeds from sales of marketable securities, net of purchases.
Improvements to and investments in real estate assets
During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we expended $284.8 million and $395.1 million, respectively, on improvements to and investments in real estate assets. In addition, during the years ended December 31, 2020
33
and 2019, insurance proceeds of $7.5 million and $7.4 million, respectively, were received and included in improvements to and investments in real estate assets.
Maintenance capital expenditures represent costs to fund major replacements and betterments to our properties. Leasing related capital expenditures represent tenant specific costs incurred to lease space, including tenant improvements and tenant allowances. In addition, we evaluate our Portfolio on an ongoing basis to identify value-enhancing reinvestment opportunities. Such initiatives are tenant driven and focus on upgrading our centers with strong, best-in-class retailers and enhancing the overall merchandise mix and tenant quality of our Portfolio. As of December 31, 2020, we had 60 in-process anchor space repositioning, redevelopment and outparcel development projects with an aggregate anticipated cost of $402.6 million, of which $207.2 million has been incurred as of December 31, 2020.
Acquisitions of and proceeds from sales of real estate assets
We continue to evaluate the market for acquisition opportunities and we may acquire shopping centers when we believe strategic opportunities exist, particularly where we can further concentrate our Portfolio in attractive retail submarkets and optimize the quality and long-term growth rate of our asset base. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we acquired two land parcels for an aggregate purchase price of $3.4 million, including transaction costs. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we acquired two shopping centers, two leases at an existing shopping center and one land parcel for an aggregate purchase price of $79.6 million, including transaction costs.
We may also dispose of properties
when we believe value has been maximized, where there is downside risk, or where we have limited ability or desire to build critical mass in a particular submarket.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we disposed of 10 shopping centers, six partial shopping centers and one land parcel for aggregate net proceeds of $121.4 million. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2020, we received aggregate net proceeds of $1.0 million from previously disposed assets. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we disposed of 24 shopping centers and three partial shopping centers for aggregate net proceeds of $288.5 million. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2019, we received aggregate net proceeds of $1.6 million from previously disposed assets.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities is impacted by the nature, timing and magnitude of issuances and repurchases of debt and equity securities, as well as principal payments associated with our outstanding indebtedness and distributions made to our common stockholders.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, our net cash provided by financing activities increased $458.6 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2019. The increase was primarily due to (i) a $333.8 million increase in debt borrowings, net of repayments; and (ii) a $164.5 million decrease in distributions to common stockholders; partially offset by (iii) a $27.4 million increase in deferred financing and debt extinguishment costs; and (iv) a $12.3 million increase in repurchases of common stock. The increase in debt borrowings is primarily related to net proceeds from the issuances of our 4.050% Senior Notes due 2030, net of the repurchases of our 3.875% Senior Notes due 2022.

Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations relate to our debt, including unsecured notes payable and unsecured credit facilities, with maturities ranging from one year to 10 years, in addition to non-cancelable operating leases pertaining to our ground leases and administrative office leases.
The following table summarizes our debt maturities (excluding extension options), interest payment obligations (excluding debt premiums and discounts and deferred financing costs) and obligations under non-cancelable operating leases (excluding renewal options) as of December 31, 2020:

As of December 31, 2020, we incur variable rate interest on (i) a $350.0 million term loan; (ii) a $300.0 million term loan; and (iii) $250.0 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2022. We have in place seven interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $800.0 million, which effectively convert variable interest payments to fixed interest payments. See
Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures”
for a further discussion of these and other factors that could impact interest payments. Interest payments for these variable rate loans are presented using rates (including the impact of interest rate swaps) as of December 31, 2020.
Non-GAAP Performance Measures
We present the non-GAAP performance measures set forth below. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) or other GAAP financial measures, as an indicator of financial performance and are not alternatives to, or more meaningful than, cash flow from operating activities (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity. Non-GAAP performance measures have limitations as they do not include all items of income and expense that affect operations, and accordingly, should always be considered as supplemental financial results to those calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our computation of these non-GAAP performance measures may differ in certain respects from the methodology utilized by other REITs and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by such other REITs. Investors are cautioned that items excluded from these non-GAAP performance measures are relevant to understanding and addressing financial performance.
Funds From Operations
NAREIT FFO (defined hereafter) is a supplemental, non-GAAP performance measure utilized to evaluate the operating and financial performance of real estate companies. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines funds from operations (“FFO”) as net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, (iii) gains and losses from change in control, (iv) impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity and (v) after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.
Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that NAREIT FFO is useful to investors in measuring our operating and financial performance because the definition excludes items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating and financial performance, such as depreciation and amortization related to real estate, and items which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating and financial performance more difficult, such as gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets.

Our reconciliation of net income to NAREIT FFO for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Same Property Net Operating Income
Same property net operating income (“NOI”) is a supplemental, non-GAAP performance measure utilized to evaluate the operating performance of real estate companies. Same property NOI is calculated (using properties owned for the entirety of both periods and excluding properties under development and completed new development properties which have been stabilized for less than one year) as total property revenues (base rent, expense reimbursements, adjustments for revenues deemed uncollectible, ancillary and other rental income, percentage rents and other revenues) less direct property operating expenses (operating costs and real estate taxes). Same property NOI excludes (i) corporate level expenses (including general and administrative), (ii) lease termination fees, (iii) straight-line rental income, net, (iv) accretion of above- and below-market leases and tenant inducements, net, (v) straight-line ground rent expense, and (vi) income (expense) associated with our captive insurance company.
Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that same property NOI is useful to investors in measuring the operating performance of our property portfolio because the definition excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to, or are not indicative of, the operating performance of our properties, such as depreciation and amortization and corporate level expenses (including general and administrative), and because it eliminates disparities in NOI due to the acquisition or disposition of properties or the stabilization of completed new development properties during the period presented and therefore provides a more consistent metric for comparing the operating performance of our real estate between periods.

Our Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our historical financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could ultimately differ from those estimates. See
Note 1 – Nature of Business and Financial Statement Presentation
to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for a discussion of recently-issued and adopted accounting standards.
Revenue Recognition and Receivables
We enter into agreements with tenants which convey the right to control the use of identified space at our shopping centers in exchange for rental revenue. These agreements meet the criteria for recognition as leases under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842,
Leases
. Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. The cumulative difference between rental revenue recognized on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and contractual payment terms is recognized as deferred rent and included in Receivables, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We commence recognizing rental revenue based on the date we make the underlying asset available for use by the tenant. Leases also typically provide for the reimbursement of property operating expenses, including common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, and certain capital expenditures related to the maintenance of our properties by the lessee and are recognized in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred and/or contractually required to be repaid.
We account for rental revenue (lease component) and common area expense reimbursements (non-lease component) as one lease component under ASC 842. We also include the non-components of our leases, such as the reimbursement of utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, within this lease component. These amounts are included in Rental income on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Certain leases also provide for percentage rents based upon the level of sales achieved by a lessee. Percentage rents are recognized upon the achievement of certain pre-determined sales thresholds and are included in Rental income on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Gains from the sale of depreciated operating properties are generally recognized under the full accrual method, provided that various criteria relating to the terms of the sale and subsequent involvement by us with the applicable property are met.
We periodically evaluate the collectability of our receivables related to rental revenue, straight-line rent, expense reimbursements and those attributable to other revenue generating activities. We analyze individual tenant receivables and consider tenant credit-worthiness, the length of time a receivable has been outstanding, and current economic trends when evaluating collectability. Any receivables that are deemed to be uncollectible are recognized
37
as a reduction to Rental income on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Provision for doubtful accounts recognized prior to the adoption of ASC 842 is included in Operating expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Operations in accordance with our previous presentation and has not been reclassified to Rental income.
Real Estate
Real estate assets are recognized on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Upon acquisition of real estate operating properties, management estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, buildings, and tenant improvements), identifiable intangible assets and liabilities (consisting of above- and below-market leases and in-place leases), and assumed debt based on an evaluation of available information. Based on these estimates, the fair value is allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Transaction costs incurred during the acquisition process are capitalized as a component of the asset’s value.
The fair value of tangible assets is determined as if the acquired property is vacant. Fair value is determined using an exit price approach, which contemplates the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
In allocating fair value to identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, the value of above-market and below-market leases is estimated based on the present value (using a discount rate reflecting the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between: (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the leases negotiated and in-place at the time of acquisition and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the property or an equivalent property, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease, which includes renewal periods with fixed rental terms that are considered to be below-market. The capitalized above-market or below-market intangible is amortized as a reduction of, or increase to, rental income over the remaining non-cancelable term of each lease.
The value of in-place leases is estimated based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant lease, including: (i) fair market rent and the reimbursement of property operating expenses, including common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes that would be forgone during a hypothetical expected lease-up period and (ii) costs that would be incurred, including leasing commissions, legal and marketing costs, and tenant improvements and allowances, to execute similar leases. The value assigned to in-place leases is amortized to Depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining term of each lease.
Certain real estate assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
| Building and building and land improvements | 20 – 40 years | ||||
| Furniture, fixtures, and equipment | 5 – 10 years | ||||
| Tenant improvements | The shorter of the term of the related lease or useful life | ||||
Costs to fund major replacements and betterments, which extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their respective useful lives, while costs for ordinary repairs and maintenance activities are expensed to Operating costs as incurred.
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators, including property operating performance, changes in anticipated hold period and general market conditions, including the impact of COVID-19, that the carrying value of our real estate assets (including any related intangible assets or liabilities) may be impaired. If an indicator is identified, a real estate asset is considered impaired only if management’s estimate of aggregate future undiscounted and unleveraged property operating cash flows, taking into account the anticipated probability-weighted hold period, are less than the carrying value of the property. Various factors are considered in the estimation process, including trends and prospects and the effects of demand and competition on future operating income. Changes in any estimates and/or assumptions, including the anticipated hold period, could have a material impact on the projected operating cash flows. If management determines that the carrying value of a real estate asset is impaired, a loss is recognized to reflect the estimated fair value.
When a real estate asset is identified by management as held for sale, we discontinue depreciating the asset and estimate its sales price, net of estimated selling costs. If the estimated net sales price of an asset is less than its net carrying value, an impairment is recognized to reflect the estimated fair value. Properties classified as real estate
38
held for sale represent properties that are under contract for sale and where the applicable pre-sale due diligence period has expired prior to the end of the reporting period.
In situations in which a lease or leases with a tenant have been, or are expected to be, terminated early, we evaluate the remaining useful lives of depreciable or amortizable assets in the asset group related to the lease terminated (i.e., tenant improvements, above- and below-market lease intangibles, in-place lease value and leasing commissions). Based upon consideration of the facts and circumstances surrounding the termination, we may accelerate the depreciation and amortization associated with the asset group.
Stock Based Compensation
We account for equity awards in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Stock Compensation guidance, which requires that all share-based payments to employees and non-employee directors be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the service period based on their fair value. Fair value is determined based on the type of award, using either the grant date market price of our common stock or a Monte Carlo simulation model. Equity compensation expense is included in General and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Inflation
For the last several years inflation has been low and has had a minimal impact on the operating performance of our shopping centers; however, inflation may increase in the future. Most of our long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation, including contractual rent escalations and requirements for tenants to pay their proportionate share of property operating expenses, including common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, and certain capital expenditures related to the maintenance of our properties, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in property-level costs resulting from inflation. In addition, we believe that many of our existing rental rates are below current market rates for comparable space and that upon renewal or re-leasing, such rates may be increased to be consistent with, or closer to, current market rates. With respect to our outstanding indebtedness, we periodically evaluate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, and may continue to enter into interest rate protection agreements which mitigate, but do not eliminate, the impact of changes in interest rates on our variable rate loans.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2020.

Item 7A
.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to fund operations and capital expenditures. Our use of derivative instruments is intended to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. To achieve our objectives we borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with the lowest credit spreads available.
With regard to variable-rate financing, we assess interest rate risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. We maintain risk management control systems to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both our outstanding and forecasted debt obligations, as well as our potential offsetting hedge positions. The risk management control systems involve the use of analytical techniques, including cash flow sensitivity analysis, to estimate the expected impact of changes in interest rates on our future cash flows.
We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates. To the extent we do, we are exposed to market and credit risk. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of the financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. Market risk associated with derivative instruments is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of the derivative instrument is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk to us. The credit risk associated with derivative instruments is managed by entering into transactions with a variety of highly-rated counterparties.
As of December 31, 2020, we had $900.0 million of outstanding variable-rate indebtedness which bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus credit spreads ranging from 105 basis points to 125 basis points. We have interest rate swap agreements on $800.0 million of our variable-rate indebtedness, which effectively convert the base rate on the indebtedness from variable to fixed. If market rates of interest on our variable-rate debt increased or decreased by 100 basis points, the change in annual interest expense on our variable-rate debt would decrease earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.0 million or increase earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.0 million, respectively (after taking into account the impact of the $800.0 million of interest rate swap agreements).
The table below presents the maturity profile, weighted average interest rates and fair value of total debt as of December 31, 2020. The table has limited predictive value as average interest rates for variable-rate debt included in the table represent rates that existed as of December 31, 2020 and are subject to change. Furthermore, the table below incorporates only those exposures that exist as of December 31, 2020 and does not consider exposures or positions that may have arisen or expired after that date. As a result, our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during future periods, our hedging strategies at that time, and actual interest rates.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
BPG maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. BPG’s management, with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, BPG’s principal executive officer, James M. Taylor, and principal financial officer, Angela Aman, concluded that BPG’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2020.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
BPG’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of BPG’s financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. BPG’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of BPG’s assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of BPG are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of BPG; and provide reasonable assurance
41
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of its assets that could have a material effect on BPG’s financial statements.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, BPG conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in
Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) of the Treadway Commission. Based on its assessment and those criteria, BPG’s management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2020.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued a report, included herein, on the effectiveness of BPG’s internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in BPG’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended December 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, BPG’s internal control over financial reporting.
Controls and Procedures (Brixmor Operating Partnership LP)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Operating Partnership maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. The Operating Partnership’s management, with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Operating Partnership’s principal executive officer, James M. Taylor, and principal financial officer, Angela Aman, concluded that the Operating Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2020.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Operating Partnership’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Operating Partnership’s financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Operating Partnership’s assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Operating Partnership are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Operating Partnership; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of its assets that could have a material effect on the Operating Partnership’s financial statements.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Brixmor Property Group Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Brixmor Property Group Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes and the schedules listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 11, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Impairment of Real Estate Assets - Refer to Note 1 and Note 5 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company, on a periodic basis, assesses whether there are indicators, including changes in anticipated holding period, that the value of the Company’s real estate assets (including any related intangible assets or liabilities) may be impaired. If an indicator is identified, a real estate asset is considered impaired only if management’s estimate of current and projected operating cash flows (undiscounted and unleveraged), considering the anticipated and probability weighted holding period, are less than a real estate asset’s carrying value. Changes in any estimates and/or assumptions, including the anticipated holding period, could have a material impact on the projected operating cash flows. If management determines that the carrying value of a real estate asset is impaired, a loss is recognized for the excess of its carrying amount over its fair value.
The Company utilizes estimates and assumptions when determining potential impairments based on the asset’s projected operating cash flows. We identified management’s estimate of anticipated holding period for the properties evaluated for impairment as a critical audit matter because of the significance of the estimate within
F-2
management’s evaluation of the recoverability of real estate assets. Changes in the anticipated holding period could have a material impact on the projected operating cash flows and the amount of recorded impairment charge(s). This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s assessment of expected remaining holding period.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to management’s estimates in determining the impairment of real estate asset values included the following, among others:
•
We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s impairment analysis, including controls over the estimate of the anticipated holding period of real estate assets.
•
We evaluated the Company’s estimate of holding periods by:
◦
Performing a retrospective analysis to compare historical estimates for real estate assets that have subsequently been disposed.
◦
Obtaining and evaluating financial and operational evidence of the assumption of the anticipated holding period.
Evaluation of Collectability of Receivables – Refer to Note 1 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its receivables related to rental revenue, straight-line rent, expense reimbursements and those attributable to other revenue generating activities. The Company analyzes individual tenant receivables and considers tenant creditworthiness, the length of time a receivable has been outstanding, and current economic trends when evaluating collectability. Any receivables that are deemed to be uncollectible are recognized as a reduction to Rental income. Due to the economic impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has experienced an increase in the number of tenants that are delinquent in their lease obligations and has recognized significant levels compared to historical levels of revenues deemed uncollectible and straight-line rent receivable reversals.
The Company exercises judgments when determining the collectability of receivables related to revenue generating activities on an individual tenant basis. We identified management’s assumptions utilized in determining if a tenant’s lease payments are collectible as a critical audit matter because of the material impact to Rental income. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s assessment of collectability.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to management’s assumptions in evaluating the collectability of rental revenue receivables included the following, among others:
•
We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s collectability assessment including controls over the assumptions utilized by management.
•
We evaluated the Company’s estimate of the collectability of receivables by:
◦
Assessing tenants that are deemed uncollectible by testing management’s estimate including reading available information including tenant’s filings, financial statements, news articles, and analyst reports among other procedures to validate management’s conclusions based on the tenant’s industry, creditworthiness, and payment history.
◦
Analyzing tenants that are deemed collectible and who have large outstanding receivable balances, disputed charges, or recent deferral or abatement agreements by assessing analyst and industry reports to evaluate management’s conclusions.
◦
Obtaining operational evidence by inquiring with Company employees in departments outside of accounting to corroborate evidence regarding specific tenant’s collectability assessment.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Brixmor Property Group Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Brixmor Property Group Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)
issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, of the Company and our report dated February 11, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

BRIXMOR PROPERTY GROUP INC. AND BRIXMOR OPERATING PARTNERSHIP LP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)
1.
Nature of Business and Financial Statement Presentation
Description of Business
Brixmor Property Group Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Parent Company”) is an internally-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Brixmor Operating Partnership LP and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Operating Partnership”) is the entity through which the Parent Company conducts substantially all of its operations and owns substantially all of its assets. The Parent Company owns
100
% of the common stock of BPG Subsidiary Inc. (“BPG Sub”), which, in turn, is the sole member of Brixmor OP GP LLC (the “General Partner”), the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company engages in the ownership, management, leasing, acquisition, disposition and redevelopment of retail shopping centers through the Operating Partnership, and has no other substantial assets or liabilities other than through its investment in the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company, the Operating Partnership and their controlled subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (collectively, the “Company” or “Brixmor”) believes it owns and operates one of the largest open-air retail portfolios by gross leasable area (“GLA”) in the United States (“U.S.”), comprised primarily of community and neighborhood shopping centers. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s portfolio was comprised of
393
shopping centers (the “Portfolio”) totaling approximately
69
million square feet of GLA. The Company’s high-quality national Portfolio is primarily located within established trade areas in the top 50 Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the U.S., and its shopping centers are primarily anchored by non-discretionary and value-oriented retailers, as well as consumer-oriented service providers.
The Company does not distinguish its principal business or group its operations on a geographical basis for purposes of measuring performance. Accordingly, the Company has a single reportable segment for disclosure purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Basis of Presentation
The financial information included herein reflects the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.
Principles of Consolidation and Use of Estimates
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership, each of their wholly owned subsidiaries and all other entities in which they have a controlling financial interest. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
When the Company obtains an economic interest in an entity, management evaluates the entity to determine: (i) whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), (ii) in the event the entity is a VIE, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of the entity, and (iii) in the event the entity is not a VIE, whether the Company otherwise has a controlling financial interest.
F-18
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of presentation on both the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents at major financial institutions. The cash and cash equivalents balance at one or more of these financial institutions exceeds the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage. The Company periodically assesses the credit risk associated with these financial institutions and believes that the risk of loss is minimal.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents cash deposited in escrow accounts, which generally can only be used for the payment of real estate taxes, debt service, insurance, and future capital expenditures as required by certain loan and lease agreements as well as legally restricted tenant security deposits and funds held in escrow for pending transactions.
Real Estate
Real estate assets are recognized on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Upon acquisition of real estate operating properties, management estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, buildings, and tenant improvements), identifiable intangible assets and liabilities (consisting of above- and below-market leases and in-place leases), and assumed debt based on an evaluation of available information. Based on these estimates, the fair value is allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Transaction costs incurred during the acquisition process are capitalized as a component of the asset’s value.
The fair value of tangible assets is determined as if the acquired property is vacant. Fair value is determined using an exit price approach, which contemplates the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
In allocating fair value to identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, the value of above-market and below-market leases is estimated based on the present value (using a discount rate reflecting the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between: (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the leases negotiated and in-place at the time of acquisition and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the property or an equivalent property, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease, which includes renewal periods with fixed rental terms that are considered to be below-market. The capitalized above-market or below-market intangible is amortized as a reduction of, or increase to, rental income over the remaining non-cancelable term of each lease.
The value of in-place leases is estimated based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant lease, including: (i) fair market rent and the reimbursement of property operating expenses, including common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes that would be forgone during a hypothetical expected lease-up period and (ii) costs that would be incurred, including leasing commissions, legal and marketing costs, and tenant improvements and allowances, to execute similar leases. The value assigned to in-place leases is amortized to Depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining term of each lease.
Certain real estate assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
| Building and building and land improvements |
|
||||
| Furniture, fixtures, and equipment |
|
||||
| Tenant improvements |
|
||||
F-19
Costs to fund major replacements and betterments, which extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their respective useful lives, while costs for ordinary repairs and maintenance activities are expensed to Operating costs as incurred.
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators, including property operating performance, changes in anticipated hold period and general market conditions, including the impact of COVID-19, that the carrying value of the Company’s real estate assets (including any related intangible assets or liabilities) may be impaired. If an indicator is identified, a real estate asset is considered impaired only if management’s estimate of aggregate future undiscounted and unleveraged property operating cash flows, taking into account the anticipated probability-weighted hold period, are less than the carrying value of the property. Various factors are considered in the estimation process, including trends and prospects and the effects of demand and competition on future operating income. Changes in any estimates and/or assumptions, including the anticipated hold period, could have a material impact on the projected operating cash flows. If management determines that the carrying value of a real estate asset is impaired, a loss is recognized to reflect the estimated fair value.
When a real estate asset is identified by management as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the asset and estimates its sales price, net of estimated selling costs. If the estimated net sales price of an asset is less than its net carrying value, an impairment is recognized to reflect the estimated fair value. Properties classified as real estate held for sale represent properties that are under contract for sale and where the applicable pre-sale due diligence period has expired prior to the end of the reporting period.
Marketable Securities
The Company classifies its marketable securities, which are comprised of debt securities, as available-for-sale. These securities are carried at fair value, which is based primarily on publicly traded market values in active markets and is classified accordingly on the fair value hierarchy.
Any unrealized loss on the Company’s financial instruments must be assessed to determine the portion, if any, that is attributable to credit loss and the portion that is due to other factors, such as changes in market interest rates. “Credit
F-20
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging
Derivatives are measured at fair value and are recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets or liabilities, depending on the Company’s rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative varies based on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting, and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the necessary criteria. Derivatives designated as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows are considered cash flow hedges. In a cash flow hedge, hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of recognition of gain or loss on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the earnings effect of the hedged transactions.
Revenue Recognition and Receivables
The Company enters into agreements with tenants which convey the right to control the use of identified space at its shopping centers in exchange for rental revenue. These agreements meet the criteria for recognition as leases under ASC 842. Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. The cumulative difference between rental revenue recognized on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and contractual payment terms is recognized as deferred rent and included in Receivables, net on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company commences recognizing rental revenue based on the date it makes the underlying asset available for use by the tenant. Leases also typically provide for the reimbursement of property operating expenses, including common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, and certain capital expenditures related to the maintenance of our properties by the lessee and are recognized in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred and/or contractually required to be repaid.
The Company accounts for rental revenue (lease component) and common area expense reimbursements (non-lease component) as one lease component under ASC 842. The Company also includes the non-components of its leases, such as the reimbursement of utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, within this lease component. These amounts are included in Rental income on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Certain leases also provide for percentage rents based upon the level of sales achieved by a lessee. Percentage rents are recognized upon the achievement of certain pre-determined sales thresholds and are included in Rental income on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Gains from the sale of depreciated operating properties are generally recognized under the full accrual method, provided that various criteria relating to the terms of the sale and subsequent involvement by the Company with the applicable property are met.
The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its receivables related to rental revenue, straight-line rent, expense reimbursements and those attributable to other revenue generating activities. The Company analyzes individual tenant receivables and considers tenant credit-worthiness, the length of time a receivable has been outstanding, and current economic trends when evaluating collectability. Any receivables that are deemed to be uncollectible are recognized as a reduction to Rental income on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Provision for doubtful accounts recognized prior to the adoption of ASC 842 is included in Operating expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations in accordance with the Company’s previous presentation and has not been reclassified to Rental income.
F-21
Leases
The Company periodically enters into agreements in which it is the lessee, including ground leases for shopping centers that it operates and office leases for administrative space. These agreements meet the criteria for recognition as leases under ASC 842. For these agreements the Company recognizes an operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and an operating lease liability based on the present value of the minimum lease payments over the non-cancellable lease term. As the discount rates implicit in the leases are not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental secured borrowing rate, based on the information available at the commencement date of each lease, to determine the present value of the associated lease payments. The lease terms utilized by the Company may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise such options. The Company evaluates many factors, including current and future lease cash flows, when determining if an option to extend or terminate should be included in the non-cancellable period. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable lease term. The Company applies the short-term lease exemption within ASC 842 and has not recorded an ROU asset or lease liability for leases with original terms of less than 12 months. Additionally, leases also typically provide for the reimbursement of property operating expenses, including common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, and certain capital expenditures related to the maintenance of the properties by the Company.
For leases where it is the lessee, the Company accounts for lease payments (lease component) and common area expense reimbursements (non-lease component) as one lease component under ASC 842. The Company also includes the non-components of its leases, such as the reimbursement of utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, within this lease component. These amounts are included in Operating expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity awards in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Stock Compensation guidance, which requires that all share-based payments to employees and non-employee directors be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the service period based on their fair value. Fair value is determined based on the type of award, using either the grant date market price of the Company’s common stock or a Monte Carlo simulation model. Equity compensation expense is included in General and administrative expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Income Taxes
Brixmor Property Group Inc. has elected to qualify as a REIT in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To qualify as a REIT, Brixmor Property Group Inc. must meet several organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. Management intends to satisfy these requirements and maintain Brixmor Property Group Inc.’s REIT status.
As a REIT, Brixmor Property Group Inc. generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that distributions to its stockholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. Brixmor Property Group Inc. conducts substantially all of its operations through the Operating Partnership which is organized as a limited partnership and treated as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal tax purposes. Therefore, U.S. federal income taxes do not materially impact the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.
If Brixmor Property Group Inc. fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to U.S. federal taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Even if Brixmor Property Group Inc. qualifies for taxation as a REIT, Brixmor Property Group Inc. is subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income as well as other income items, as applicable.
Brixmor Property Group Inc. has elected to treat certain of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (each a “TRS”), and Brixmor Property Group Inc. may in the future elect to treat newly formed and/or other existing subsidiaries as TRSs. A TRS may participate in non-real estate related activities and/or perform non-customary services for tenants and is subject to certain limitations under the Code. A TRS is subject to U.S. federal, state and
F-22
local income taxes at regular corporate rates. Income taxes related to Brixmor Property Group Inc.’s TRSs do not materially impact the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.
The Company has considered the tax positions taken for the open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income taxes related to uncertain tax positions is required in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Open tax years generally range from 2017 through 2019 but may vary by jurisdiction and issue. The Company recognizes penalties and interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense, which is included in Other on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13,
Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326).
ASU 2016-13 was subsequently amended by ASU 2018-19,
Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses.
ASU 2016-13 amends guidance to replace the prior “incurred loss” methodology of recognizing credit losses on financial instruments with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of information. Any unrealized loss on the Company’s financial instruments must be assessed to determine the portion, if any, that is attributable to credit loss and the portion that is due to other factors, such as changes in market interest rates. “Credit loss” refers to any portion of the carrying amount that the Company does not expect to collect over a financial instrument’s contractual life. The Company considers current market conditions and reasonable forecasts of future market conditions to estimate expected credit losses over the life of the financial instrument. Any portion of unrealized losses due to credit loss is recognized through net income and reported in equity as a component of distributions in excess of net income. The portion of unrealized losses due to other factors continues to be recognized through other comprehensive income (loss) and reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss. In addition, ASU 2018-19 clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of ASC 326-20. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with ASC 842. The standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The Company determined that these changes did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16,
Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815).
ASU 2018-16 was subsequently amended by ASU 2020-04,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848).
ASU 2018-16 amends guidance to permit the use of the Overnight Index Swap (“OIS”) rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under ASC 815,
Derivatives and Hedging
. The standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019 and a prospective transition approach was required. The Company determined that the adoption of ASU 2018-16 did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.
ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13,
Fair Value Measurement
(Topic 820)
. ASU 2018-13 amends certain disclosure requirements regarding the fair value hierarchy of investments in accordance with GAAP, particularly the significant unobservable inputs used to value investments within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The Company determined that these changes did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.
Any other recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements not disclosed above have been excluded as they either are not relevant to the Company, or they are not expected to have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

Impairments
Management periodically assesses whether there are any indicators, including property operating performance, changes in anticipated hold period and general market conditions, including the impact of COVID-19, that the carrying value of the Company’s real estate assets (including any related intangible assets or liabilities) may be impaired. If management determines that the carrying value of a real estate asset is impaired, a loss is recognized to reflect the estimated fair value.

Financial Instruments – Derivatives and Hedging
The Company’s use of derivative instruments is intended to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and such instruments are not utilized for speculative purposes. In certain situations, the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements that result in the receipt and/or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchanging the underlying notional amount. The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to partially hedge the cash flows associated with variable LIBOR based debt. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did
no
t enter into any new interest rate swap agreements.
Detail on the Company’s interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

The Company has elected to present its interest rate derivatives on its Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis as interest rate swap assets and interest rate swap liabilities. Detail on the fair value of the Company’s interest rate derivatives on a gross and net basis as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

The gross derivative assets are included in Other assets and the gross derivative liabilities are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. All of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swap agreements for the periods presented were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate derivatives is determined using market standard valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. These inputs are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into earnings as interest expense in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
The effective portion of the Company’s interest rate swaps that was recognized on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not have any non-designated hedges.
Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain provisions whereby if the Company defaults on certain of its indebtedness and the indebtedness has been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. If the Company were to breach any of the contractual provisions of the derivative contracts, it would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value, including accrued interest.

2020 Debt Transactions
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company repaid $
7.0
million, net of borrowings, under the Operating Partnership’s $
1.25
billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”).
In June 2020, the Operating Partnership issued $
500.0
million aggregate principal amount of
4.050
% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”) at
99.776
% of par, the net proceeds of which were used to complete the Tender Offer (defined below), repay outstanding indebtedness under the Revolving Facility, and for general corporate purposes. The 2030 Notes bear interest at a rate of
4.050
% per annum, payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing January 1, 2021. The 2030 Notes will mature on July 1, 2030. The Operating Partnership may redeem the 2030 Notes prior to maturity, at its option, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, at the
F-29
applicable redemption price specified in the Indenture with respect to the 2030 Notes. If the 2030 Notes are redeemed on or after April 1, 2030 (three months prior to the maturity date), the redemption price will be equal to
100
% of the principal amount of the 2030 Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. The 2030 Notes are the Operating Partnership’s unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Operating Partnership’s existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
In August 2020, the Operating Partnership issued an additional $
300.0
million aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes at
107.172
% of par, the net proceeds of which were used to repay outstanding indebtedness under the Revolving Facility and for general corporate purposes. The additional notes form a single series with the previously outstanding 2030 Notes.
In June 2020, the Operating Partnership commenced a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of its outstanding
3.875
% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”). The Tender Offer expired on June 26, 2020. As a result of the Tender Offer, the Company repurchased notes with a face value of $
182.5
million on June 29, 2020 and $
0.7
million on July 1, 2020.
In December 2020, the Operating Partnership redeemed the remaining $
316.8
million principal amount of 2022 Notes. Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the notes were redeemed at a price equal to the principal amount of the notes plus a make-whole premium, together with accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the redemption date.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, as a result of the Tender Offer, the redemption of the remaining amount of 2022 Notes and the repayment of its $
7.0
million secured loan, the Company recognized a $
28.1
million loss on extinguishment of debt, net. Loss on extinguishment of debt, net includes $
26.2
million of prepayment fees and $
1.9
million of accelerated unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts, net of premiums.
In April 2020, the Operating Partnership amended its senior unsecured credit agreements related to the Revolving Facility and the Operating Partnership’s term loans, changing the covenant calculation reference period to the most recent twelve months for which it reported financial results from the most recent six months for which it reported financial results, annualized.
Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s unsecured debt agreements, the Company among other things is subject to the maintenance of various financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2020.
Debt Maturities
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had accrued interest of $
47.2
million and $

As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, a fair value hierarchy is included in GAAP that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs that are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
Based on the above criteria, the Company has determined that the valuations of its debt obligations are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Such fair value estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized upon disposition.
Recurring Fair Value
The Company’s marketable securities and interest rate derivatives are measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis. The valuations of the Company’s marketable securities are based primarily on publicly traded market values in active markets and are classified within Level 1 or 2 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 6 for fair value information regarding the Company’s interest rate derivatives.

Non-Recurring Fair Value
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators, including property operating performance, changes in anticipated hold period and general market conditions, including the impact of COVID-19, that the carrying value of the Company’s real estate assets (including any related intangible assets or liabilities) may be impaired. Fair value is determined by offers from third-party buyers, market comparable data, third party appraisals or discounted cash flow analyses. The cash flows utilized in such analyses are comprised of unobservable inputs which include forecasted rental revenue and expenses based upon market conditions and future expectations. The capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in such analyses are based upon unobservable rates that the Company believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties. Based on these inputs, the Company has determined that the valuations of these properties are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following table presents the placement in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The table includes information related to properties that were remeasured to fair value as a result of impairment testing during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, excluding the properties sold prior to December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively:

Revenue Recognition
The Company engages in the ownership, management, leasing, acquisition, disposition and redevelopment of retail shopping centers. Revenue is primarily generated through lease agreements and classified as Rental income on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. These agreements include retail shopping center unit leases; ground leases; ancillary leases or agreements, such as agreements with tenants for cellular towers, ATMs, and short-term or seasonal retail (e.g. Halloween or Christmas-related retail); and reciprocal easement agreements.
The agreements range in term from less than one year to 25 or more years, with certain agreements containing renewal options. These renewal options range from as little as one month to five or more years.
The Company’s retail shopping center leases generally require tenants to pay their proportionate share of property operating expenses such as common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, and certain capital expenditures related to the maintenance of the Company’s properties.
As of December 31, 2020, the fixed contractual lease payments to be received over the next five years pursuant to the terms of non-cancelable operating leases are included in the table below, assuming that no leases are renewed and no renewal options are exercised. The table below includes payments from tenants who have taken possession of their space and tenants who have been moved to the cash basis of accounting for revenue recognition purposes. The table does not include variable lease payments which may be received under certain leases for the reimbursement of property operating expenses, the reimbursement of certain capital expenditures related to the maintenance of the Company’s properties, or percentage rents. These variable lease payments are recognized, in the case of reimbursements, in the period when the applicable expenditures are incurred and/or contractually required to be repaid or, in the case of percentage rents, when the sales data is made available.

million, $

million and $
6.6
million of rental income based on percentage rents for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These amounts are included in Rental income on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, receivables associated with the effects of recognizing rental income on a straight-line basis were $
127.3
million and $
140.2
million, respectively.
COVID-19
The global outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and the public health measures that have been undertaken in response have had a significant adverse impact on the Company’s business, the Company’s tenants, the real estate market, the global economy, and the financial markets. The effects of COVID-19, including related government restrictions, border closings, quarantines, “shelter-in-place” orders and “social distancing” guidelines, have forced many of the Company’s tenants to close stores, reduce hours or significantly limit service, and have resulted in a dramatic increase in national unemployment and a significant economic contraction. Certain tenants experiencing economic difficulties during this pandemic have sought rent relief, which has been provided on a case-by-case basis primarily in the form of rent deferrals, and, in more limited cases, in the form of rent abatements.
Under ASC 842, changes to the amount or timing of lease payments subsequent to the original lease execution are generally accounted for as lease modifications. Due to the number of lease contracts that would require analysis to
F-33
determine, on a lease by lease basis, whether such a concession is required to be accounted for as a lease modification, the FASB issued a Staff Q&A on accounting for leases during the COVID-19 pandemic, focused on the application of lease guidance in ASC 842. The Q&A states that it would be acceptable to make a policy election regarding rent concessions resulting from COVID-19, which would not require entities to account for the rent concessions as lease modifications or to determine whether rent concessions were contractually obligated in each original lease. Rent abatements would be recognized as reductions to revenue during the period in which they were granted. Rent deferrals would result in an increase to “Receivables, net” during the deferral period with no impact on rental revenue recognition. Any rent concession that is either unrelated to COVID-19 or substantially increases the total consideration due under the lease does not qualify for consideration under the Q&A. The Company has evaluated the impact of the Q&A and has made the following policy elections:
•
The Company accounts for COVID-19 rent deferrals and abatements that significantly increase the consideration due under the lease as lease modifications in accordance with ASC 842. As a result, rental revenue recognition is reduced by the amount of the deferral or abatement in the period it was granted and straight-line rental income recognition is updated over the remaining lease term.
•
The Company does not account for COVID-19 rent deferrals that do not significantly increase the consideration due under the lease as lease modifications. As a result, rental revenue recognition does not change, and Receivables, net increases for the deferred amount.
•
The Company does not account for COVID-19 rent abatements that do not significantly increase the consideration due under the lease as lease modifications. As a result, rental revenue recognition is reduced by the amount of the abatement in the period it was granted and straight-line rental income recognition does not change over the remaining lease term.
The following table presents the COVID-19 related deferrals and abatements granted for lease payments due during the year ended December 31, 2020. Lease payments presented consist of fixed contractual base rent and may include the reimbursement of certain property operating expenses.

Leases
The Company periodically enters into agreements in which it is the lessee, including ground leases for shopping centers that it operates and office leases for administrative space. The agreements range in term from less than
one year
to
50
or more years, with certain agreements containing renewal options for up to an additional
100
years. Upon lease execution, the Company recognizes a lease liability and an ROU asset based on the present value of future lease payments over the noncancellable lease term. As of December 31, 2020 the Company is not including any prospective renewal or termination options in its lease liabilities or ROU assets, as the exercise of such options is not reasonably certain. Certain agreements require the Company to pay its proportionate share of property operating expenses such as common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, and certain capital expenditures related to the maintenance of the properties. These payments are not included in the calculation of the lease liability and are presented as variable lease costs.

400.0
million of its common stock through sales agents over a
-year period. The ATM Program also provides that the Company may enter into forward contracts for shares of its common stock with forward sellers and forward purchasers. The ATM Program is scheduled to expire on January 9, 2023, unless earlier terminated or extended by the Company, sales agents, forward sellers and forward purchasers. As of December 31, 2020,
no
shares have been issued under the ATM Program, and as a result, $
400.0
million of common stock remained available for issuance.

In connection with the vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Company’s equity-based compensation plan, the Company withholds shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company withheld
0.2
million and
0.1
million shares, respectively.
Dividends and Distributions
Because Brixmor Property Group Inc. is a holding company and has no material assets other than its ownership of BPG Sub, through which it owns the Operating Partnership, and no material operations other than those conducted by the Operating Partnership, distributions are funded as follows:
•
first, the Operating Partnership makes distributions to its partners that are holders of OP Units, including BPG Sub;
•
second, BPG Sub distributes to Brixmor Property Group Inc. its share of such distributions; and
•
third, Brixmor Property Group Inc. distributes the amount authorized by its Board of Directors and declared by Brixmor Property Group Inc. to its common stockholders on a pro rata basis.
During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company declared common stock dividends and OP Unit distributions of $
0.500
per share/unit, $
1.125
per share/unit and $
1.105
per share/unit, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had declared but unpaid common stock dividends and OP Unit distributions of $
66.0
million and $
87.2
million, respectively. These amounts are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Stock Based Compensation
F-36
During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company granted RSUs to certain employees. The RSUs are divided into multiple tranches, which are all subject to service-based vesting conditions. Certain tranches are also subject to performance-based or market-based criteria, which contain a threshold, target, above target, and maximum number of units which can be earned. The number of units actually earned for each tranche is determined based on performance during a specified performance period. Tranches that only have a service-based component can only earn a target number of units. The aggregate number of RSUs granted, assuming that the target level of performance is achieved, was
0.7
million,
0.8
million and
0.8
million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, with vesting periods ranging from
to
five years
. For the performance-based and service-based RSUs granted, fair value is based on the Company’s grant date stock price. For the market-based RSUs granted during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company calculated the grant date fair values per unit using a Monte Carlo simulation based on the probability of satisfying the market performance hurdles over the remainder of the performance period based on the Company’s historical common stock performance relative to the other companies within the FTSE NAREIT Equity Shopping Centers Index as well as the following significant assumptions: (i) volatility of
20.0
% to
23.0
%,
20.0
% to
21.0
%, and
29.0
% to
32.0
%, respectively; (ii) a weighted average risk-free interest rate of
1.20
% to
1.30
%,
2.55
%, and
2.43
% to
2.53
%, respectively; and (iii) the Company’s weighted average common stock dividend yield of
5.9
% to
6.0
%,
5.6
%, and
5.6
%, respectively.

Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders, including any participating securities, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Certain restricted shares issued pursuant to the Company’s share-based compensation program are considered participating securities, as such stockholders have rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends. Fully-diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock. Unvested RSUs are not allocated net losses and/or any excess of dividends declared over net income, as such amounts are allocated entirely to the Company’s common stock.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS calculations for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

Earnings per Unit
Basic earnings per unit is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Operating Partnership’s common unitholders, including any participating securities, by the weighted average number of partnership common units outstanding for the period. Certain restricted units issued pursuant to the Company’s share-based compensation program are considered participating securities, as such unitholders have rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends. Fully-diluted earnings per unit reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common units were exercised or converted into common units.

Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
Except as described below, the Company is not presently involved in any material litigation arising outside the ordinary course of business. However, the Company is involved in routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which the Company believes, individually or in the aggregate, taking into account existing reserves, will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, operating results or cash flows.
As previously disclosed, on August 1, 2019, the Company finalized a settlement with the SEC with respect to matters initially disclosed on February 8, 2016 relating to a review conducted by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors into certain accounting matters and the related conduct of certain former Company executives.
The Company believes that no additional governmental proceedings relating to these matters will be brought against the Company. The Company understands that the SEC and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York are pursuing actions relating to these matters with respect to certain former employees. The Company remains obligated to advance funds to these former employees for legal and other professional fees pursuant to indemnification obligations and the amounts advanced are now in excess of the Company’s insurance coverage and are being funded by the Company. Under certain circumstances, the former employees are contractually obligated to reimburse the Company for such amounts advanced. However, it is possible that the Company may not be able to recover any or all of these amounts.
Insurance Captive
The Company has a wholly owned captive insurance company, Brixmor Incap, LLC (“Incap”). Incap underwrites the first layer of general liability insurance for the Company’s Portfolio. The Company formed Incap as part of its overall risk management program to stabilize insurance costs, manage exposure and recoup expenses through the function of the captive program. The Company has capitalized Incap in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. An actuarial analysis is performed to estimate future projected claims, related deductibles and projected expenses necessary to fund associated risk management programs. Incap establishes annual premiums based on projections derived from the past loss experience of the Company’s properties. Premiums paid to Incap may be adjusted based on this estimate and may be reimbursed by the Company’s tenants pursuant to specific lease terms.

Environmental Matters
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, the Company may be or become liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances released on or in the Company’s property or disposed of by the Company or its tenants, as well as certain other potential costs which could relate to hazardous or toxic substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property). The Company does not believe that any resulting liability from such matters will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, operating results or cash flows.

Income Taxes
The Parent Company has elected to qualify as a REIT in accordance with the Code. To qualify as a REIT, the Parent Company must meet several organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. Management intends to satisfy these requirements and maintain the Parent Company’s REIT status.
As a REIT, the Parent Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that distributions to its stockholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. The Parent Company conducts substantially all of its operations through the Operating Partnership which is organized as a limited partnership and treated as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal tax purposes. Therefore, U.S. federal income taxes do not materially impact the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.
If the Parent Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to U.S. federal taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Even if the Parent Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it is subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income as well as other income items, as applicable. In addition, taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through TRSs are subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes.
The Company incurred income and other taxes of $
4.4
million, $
2.5
million and $
2.6
million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. These amounts are included in Other on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
